Unmatched Precision and Durability for Vegetable Prep
The Kazoku Kaji Nakiri (16.5 cm) is a beautifully crafted vegetable knife designed for superior cutting performance. With its razor-sharp edge and unique design, this Nakiri stands out not only for its precision but also for the special treatment applied to the steel. A special hammering process ensures that food sticks less during cutting, making it easier to slice through vegetables with minimal resistance.
Forged SLD Steel for Exceptional Performance
Made from high-quality SLD steel, the Kazoku Kaji Nakiri is forged to perfection. With a high carbon content of 1.5%, the steel is exceptionally hard (61-62 Rockwell), allowing for a fine, long-lasting edge. The addition of 11-13% chromium ensures that the knife is rust-resistant while retaining its cutting power.
Stainless Sanmai Construction
The knife features a Stainless Sanmai construction, where the hard core of the blade is encased in two layers of soft stainless steel. This provides durability and edge retention comparable to a carbon steel knife, but without the high-maintenance care. The result is a knife that stays sharp for longer and is easy to maintain, perfect for busy kitchens.
Unique Hammering Process
Kazoku’s innovative approach to hammering the steel adds both function and artistry to the Nakiri knife. This special hammer blow processing helps reduce food sticking to the blade, allowing for smoother and more efficient cutting, making it ideal for slicing through vegetables with ease.
