Precision and Tradition in Every Slice
The Kazoku Takahiro Nakiri 16.5 cm is a premium Japanese vegetable knife designed for chefs who demand the best in both function and aesthetics. Ideal for cutting, slicing, and chopping vegetables with precision, the Nakiri features a wide, straight blade that allows for clean, smooth cuts, making it a staple in Japanese cuisine. Its razor-sharp edge and superior design ensure effortless performance, whether you're preparing delicate herbs or hearty root vegetables.
Crafted from Japanese VG-10 steel, this knife offers outstanding sharpness and edge retention. VG-10 steel is celebrated for its hardness, allowing the blade to be sharpened to an extra fine edge at 15 degrees. The blade is further protected by multiple layers of damask steel, which not only enhance durability but also contribute to the knife’s striking visual appeal. The tsuchime finish, a hammered pattern, helps reduce friction and prevents food from sticking to the blade, making each cut easier and more efficient.
The handle is made of brown Pakka wood, providing a warm and comfortable grip with the durability of modern materials. Manufactured in the renowned knife-making city of Seki, Japan, this Nakiri knife showcases the precision and craftsmanship that Japanese knives are famous for.
