Description

Nakiri Knife

The Nakiri knife is used for cutting vegetables and thanks to its light weight, it is quick and comfortable to use. The word Nakiri (“vegetable cutter”) comes from the Japanese words "Na" and "Kiri" which mean vegetable and cutter, 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 with a single motion, such as tomatoes, zucchinis, etc.

Blade Material

The blade is made of stainless steel, a popular material for knives, it is particularly durable and does not corrode. It is a combination of carbon and iron as a base, with chromium added to repel stains and give the blade a shiny finish. Additionally, it is forged for extra strength and a high aesthetic result. 

Its hardness rating is 58 HRC (a knife with a hardness above 56 HRC is considered good).

Handle

The handle is made from Pakka Wood, which does not refer to a specific type of wood, but to a general term for various layers of wood that are bonded using high-quality resin which ensures the stability of the handle and guarantees long-term resistance to rust.

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, which you can achieve with a sharpener, whetstone, or honing rod.

You can tell if your knife cuts well with an easy test using the knife and a piece of paper. A sharp knife can easily and cleanly cut a piece of paper. In contrast, a knife that needs sharpening will struggle and its 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 edge and to maintain sharpness.

    This review is about type: Santoku, dimension: 18 cm

    Extremely sharp straight from the factory, the wooden handle is very solid and comfortable, and it remains sharp for a long time without dulling.
