Description: Prior to starting Sea Rose Knifeworks, Sasha Rosenfeld was a professional cook in Seattle for 15 years. When he made the move from chef de cuisine to stay-at-home dad and part time prep cook, he began taking blacksmithing classing and began forging his first kitchen knives in his backyard while his daughter was napping. In the fall of 2018, Rosenfeld decided to step away from professional kitchens for good and opened Sea Rose Knifeworks.
The nakiri is a multipurpose chef's knife ideal for chopping fruits, vegetables, and boneless meats. 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 blade is high performing AEB-L stainless steel. AEB-L is ultra-high performance -- combining the convenience of stainless steel with the ability to take an acute edge and hold it (a characteristic usually only found in carbon steels). AEB-L steel was designed for razors, which need corrosion resistance, high hardness, and very acute edges. Once you try a knife that is made with AEB-L, you'll immediately understand why it is coveted by knife enthusiasts, knifemakers, and professional chefs. The resulting blade has an extremely keen, long-lasting edge. A Fujiwara-inspired finger notch encourages a pinch grip for greater control. The blade has thin geometry and will effortlessly slice and chop.
The handle is inspired by the Japanese ambidextrous octagonal handle and provides a comfortable grip. The handle is dyed and stabilized redwood burl which will hold up well to the demands of a professional kitchen. The front of the handle is sealed with an AEB-L bolster and spacer. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
Excellent work throughout!
