Description

Nakiri Knife

The Nakiri knife is used primarily for cutting vegetables and, thanks to its light weight, is comfortable even for daily use. The word Nakiri (“vegetable chopper”) comes from the Japanese words "Na" and "Kiri," which mean vegetable and chopper, respectively. Its blade is particularly sharp, has a vertical tip, and its characteristic shape resembles a cleaver. With this knife, you can easily and quickly finely chop your herbs and cut small and large vegetables, such as tomatoes, cabbage, zucchini, etc., with a single motion.

Blade Material

The blade is made of VG10 stainless steel alloy with 5 layers of forged steel, making it exceptionally sharp and durable.

Its hardness rating is 60 HRC (a knife with a hardness above 56 HRC is considered good).

Handle

The handle is made of stainless steel and offers durability and resistance during use.

The high aesthetics and the embossed texture of the knife, which resemble the craters on the surface of the Moon, will impress even the most demanding chefs.

Cutting board

It is recommended to make cuts on wooden or plastic cutting surfaces. Glass, stone, and marble cutting surfaces are unsuitable as they can cause permanent damage to the knife blades.

Cleaning

Wash the knife with warm water before using it for the first time. After each use, make sure to wash the knife without delay (with a simple detergent) and dry it with a soft cloth. Especially if you have cut acidic foods, you must wash the knife immediately after use.

For your safety, you should always wipe the knife away from your body and away from the edge, with a cloth or towel.

It is not recommended to wash it in the dishwasher but by hand, in order to protect its material and maintain its sharpness for a long time.

Sharpening

No matter how sharp a knife is initially, after some use it needs sharpening, something you can achieve with a sharpener, whetstone, or honing rod.

You can determine if your knife cuts well with an easy test using the knife and a sheet of paper. A sharp knife can easily and cleanly cut a sheet of paper. Conversely, a knife that needs sharpening will struggle and the cut will be jagged.

It is also recommended to occasionally have your knives sharpened by a professional to repair any potential damage to the blade's edge and to maintain its sharpness.
