Kai has created another masterpiece with the Shun Nagara Series.
This series is a bit atypical in that it is made of 72 layers of damascus which consists of VG2 and VG10 steel. Normally a knife would have a core steel and two layers of mild stainless on the outside. But in this case it is a layer of steel which is made in several layers. This gives the knives from this series a completely unique look that you don't see often! The cutting ability is, as always, top notch, and with its unique ergonomic handle, they also lie well in the hand.
A herb knife is used for the very fine cutting tasks where precision is paramount. Can alternatively also be used as a paring knife.
