Description: The nakiri is a multipurpose knife. It is a traditional Japanese knife ideal for chopping and slicing fruits and vegetables. The edge is double beveled, like a Western knife. Though sometimes called a vegetable cleaver, the thin edge geometry makes it a precision tool, rather than a Japanese equivalent to meat cleavers. Nakiri make fast, accurate work of thin slicing and chopping.
The Takefu VG-XEOS stainless steel core (hagane) is surrounded by layers of softer stainless steel (jigane). At 61-62 Hrc, VG-XEOS offers a keen, exceptionally long lasting edge without the care of carbon steel. VG-XEOS is a brand-new and innovative steel from Takefu Special Steel Co. It is an alloy that combines high corrosion resistance with high hardness and wear resistance. The blade features a shinogi with a migaki finish. The ambidextrous shinogi grind provides effortless food release while chopping and slicing. The blade is impressively lightweight, making it comfortable, even after hours of use.
The octagonal, ambidextrous octagonal handle combines stabilized curly maple with a dyed and stabilized curly maple front and rear bolster. Like other kitchen knives, this knife should not be put in a dishwasher.
