Similar to the Santoku knife, or a cleaver, the Nakiri performs tasks in a chopping motion. Additionally, the blade tip is not sharp, making it safer to use than many other kitchen knife styles.

A Kullenschliff (K) edge, also known as a Granton or Hollow-Edge, is designed to create an air pocket between the food and the blade, helping to prevent sticking.

FEATURES:

• Signature craftsmanship. Meticulously crafted in the USA, each of our knives is finished to perfection using state of the art technology coupled with hand finishing as well as proprietary polishing and sharpening processes.
• Unmatched quality. Blades are forged from the finest high-carbon stainless steel from Solingen, Germany (Grade 4116). Sturdy handles of tough Acrylic.
• Durable design. Our blades are precision forged using the traditional hot-drop method, tempered to a perfect hardness of 58 on the Rockwell scale. This results in a hard, wickedly sharp blade that retains an edge for longer and is both highly corrosion resistant and elastic.
• Superior performance. Full tang blades with triple riveted handles ensure ideal balance and weight. A curved and recessed bolster provides a seamless transition from handle to blade, resulting in comfortable thumb and finger support for better control and safety.
