The Nakiri knife is a Japanese style vegetable knife that looks like a smaller and slimmer version of a meat cleaver. Featuring a large rectangular shape with a very sharp edge; the Nakiri blade is the best tool for cutting large vegetables such as aubergine, squash and pumpkin. The design of the Nakiri knife shape and straight edge enables great ease when chopping without the need to rock the knife back and forth, just a single chop through the vegetable to the board. The knives are finished with stainless steel bamboo design hollow handles, which contain weights to ensure that the knives are perfectly balanced.
Tamahagane Bamboo are all made with a 3 ply stainless steel construction. The middle layer is VG-5 which forms the edge of the blade.
This layer is exceptionally hard (61 HRC), it is as hard as VG-10 stainless steel but has superior edge retention. The two outer layers are made of SUS-410 stainless steel, which is softer and more stain resistant in order to protect the cutting edge.
