Tojiro Zen Japanese Nakiri knife, 16.5 cm blade

Tojiro Zen Japanese Nakiri Knife (16.5 cm blade)

The NAKIRI: The Japanese Nakiri knife features a tall, completely rectangular blade—distinctly Japanese in shape and style—with a blunt tip and a length typically ranging from 17 to 19 cm. Additionally, the cutting edge is very often perfectly parallel to the spine of the blade.
It is frequently referred to simply as a "vegetable knife" due to its height; this design allows the blade to function like a spatula, making it easy to transfer sliced ​​ingredients from the cutting board to a container.

The blade features a core of VG10 stainless steel (enriched with cobalt and carbon), clad in two layers of softer stainless steel.
Asymmetric grind. A razor-sharp blade.
Suitable for both right- and left-handed users.

D-shaped white magnolia wood handle, soft to the touch, with a black polypropylene bolster at the junction.

Designed with a traditional "hidden tang" construction. The blade steel extends into a slender metal rod (the tang), which is hot-fitted into the white oak handle. The tang is completely invisible, "hidden" within the wood.

To maintain your Japanese knives, hand-washing is recommended; avoid getting the handle wet. Do not use abrasive sponges; simply wipe dry with a clean cloth, and your knife will look as good as new.
Do not use a dishwasher if you want your knives to last.

A lightweight knife with a forward-leaning balance.
