Shun Narukami Chef's Knife 10" Pakkawood VSC0706

The Shun Narukami 10" Chef’s Knife is built for those who demand power, control, and precision in a kitchen workhorse. Designed with professional performance in mind, this chef’s knife is a master of versatility—ready to handle everything from fine slicing to heavy-duty chopping with ease. At the heart of the Narukami is a massive 10-inch VG-Max steel blade, engineered for razor-sharp edges, exceptional durability, and long-lasting performance.

VG-Max is Shun’s exclusive high-end stainless steel, offering outstanding edge retention, superior strength, and impressive corrosion resistance. The 10" blade provides the extra length many chefs prefer, giving you more cutting surface and leverage for large tasks like breaking down whole vegetables, trimming proteins, or handling larger cuts of meat. With a fine taper and well-balanced geometry, it slices cleanly and effortlessly, even through dense ingredients. The subtle curve of the edge also allows for a smooth rocking motion for herbs and precision cuts.

At 15.5" overall and weighing 8.9 ounces, the Narukami Chef’s Knife has a commanding presence in hand without sacrificing balance or comfort. The full tang construction ensures stability and strength throughout the blade, providing confidence in every stroke. The handle is crafted from ebony-colored pakkawood, a dense, resin-infused hardwood that resists moisture and provides a warm, traditional aesthetic with modern durability. Its sleek, rounded shape offers a secure and comfortable grip, ideal for long prep sessions and a variety of hand sizes and grip styles.

Whether you're a home cook pushing your skills or a professional chef relying on dependable tools every day, the Narukami 10" Chef’s Knife delivers consistent performance and enduring craftsmanship. Made in Japan and refined through generations of knife-making expertise, it’s a serious blade built to meet the toughest culinary challenges. Order it today from SMKW!
