Shun Premier 5.5" Nakiri Knife – TDM0742 – Made in Japan – Authorized USA Dealer
The Shun Premier 5.5" Nakiri is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife designed for fast, precise prep. Its straight blade edge and squared tip make it ideal for chopping, slicing and push cuts on vegetables, fruits and herbs. Unlike a chef’s knife, the Nakiri is built to cut straight down to the board without rocking, allowing clean, even cuts with minimal effort.
Handcrafted in Japan, this compact blade offers excellent control in smaller hands or tighter workspaces. The wide, thin blade glides through produce with ease and also works well for scooping and transferring ingredients from cutting board to pan.
Key Features
VG-MAX Cutting Core
Advanced Japanese steel that is wear resistant and corrosion resistant, holding a fine 16° edge on each side for lasting sharpness.
68 Layers of Damascus Cladding
Layered steel surrounds and protects the core while adding strength, stability and visual depth.
Hammered Tsuchime Finish
The hand-hammered surface helps food release easily from the blade and reduces friction during cutting.

Straight Nakiri Blade Profile
Designed specifically for vegetables, offering smooth push cuts and precise, clean slices.
Handcrafted in Japan
Built with the precision, fit and finish expected from traditional Japanese knife making.
Design & Heritage
The Premier series blends Japanese knife-making tradition with modern performance materials. Each knife is handcrafted and carefully finished to deliver accuracy, comfort and reliability.
