Everyday vegetable knife
Nakiri knife is used for cutting through firm vegetables without cracking them. This also known as kataba style edge gives better cuts and allows for the cutting of thinner slices
I.O. Shen has overcome the brittleness of hard steel, using a layer of super hard steel (Rockwell 62), sandwiched between two layers of softer stainless steel (Rockwell 10) to produce the ultimate cutting edge. We call this Triplex Steel Technology.

I.O.Shen Mastergrade built all knives using the latest technology so that it is not only amazingly sharp but will retain the edge sharpness for a phenomenal amount of time. Handcrafted by our Master attained to 15 angle edge, slicing becomes easy and fun. Each I.O.Shen knife has carefully handcrafted and took in average 7 hours hand finished.

Designing unique handle with Yin Yang philosophy
distinguishes I.O.Shen from any other knife, improving balance and handle stability, and beautiful work of art handle.

The Tai Tang handle is not just an embellishment but it is actually an integral part of the handle frame (the Tang).

The handles made with ebonite which is durable and heat resistant. (no dishwasher cleaning please)
