Description
The Nakiri knife is a traditional Japanese tool primarily used for cutting vegetables. Characterized by a wide, rectangular blade with straight edges, this knife allows for precise and uniform cuts, ideal for vegetables such as carrots, cucumbers, zucchinis, and more. The shape of the blade enables easy downward cutting motion without needing a balancing movement like with other types of knives. This makes the Nakiri knife particularly suitable for preparing dishes that require a large quantity of sliced vegetables, such as salads, stir-fries, and vegetable-based dishes.
The Kasumi VG-10 PRO line features blades crafted from solid Japanese Cobalt VG10 stainless steel, a high-carbon material specifically developed for knives. With an HRC hardness of 59-60, these blades reach the ideal level for professional kitchen knives, ensuring excellent cutting performance and superior edge retention compared to most other knives.
The edge, perfectly sharpened and polished, is achieved through a double finishing process and the use of Japanese water stones with a #3000 grit, providing the blade with exceptional professional sharpness.
The handle, made of artificial marble (antibacterial methacrylate resin), offers a comfortable grip, is hygienic, and long-lasting.
