## Kai Shun Nagare: the remarkable blade

The blade of the Kai Shun Nagare knives stands out. The blades are made from flexible VG2-steel and hard VG10 steel, combined to form 72 layers of damascus steel. This is a type of dual-core blade, with a hardness of 61 HRC. These knives have a unique design and are innovatively forged. It is as if the rays of the rising sun are caught directly in the blade. The pattern extends all the way to the razor-sharp blade with a subtle micro-bevel.

## Kai Shun Nagare: the stylish handle

The handle is ergonomically shaped with a slightly tapered line and a small belly. This makes every knife comfortable to hold while cutting. The handle is made from black pakka wood and secured with two rivets. The forged tang in the handle provides a nice balance with the blade. With an amazing finish, as you might expect from these beautiful kitchen knives.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

Type of edge

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).

value_total_sharpening_angle

This is the total sharpening angle, so the sharpening angles of both sides of the blade combined. For a knife with a one-sided grind this equals a single sharpening angle.
