Made from British 52100 carbon steel. This Nakiri features a forged distal taper with a brute de forge finish and a dark etch to give it a stealthy appearance. The spine and choil have been rounded to ensure comfort whilst using the pinch grip. The octagonal handle was sculpted from a beautiful piece of locally and sustainably sourced yew. All of our handles are finished with a food safe mineral oil and beeswax to protect the natural wood.
Inspired by traditional Japanese knives, the Nakiri is primarily used for preparing vegetables but also works brilliantly for mincing garlic and herbs. The flat cutting profile of the Nakiri makes it the ideal tool for tasks that require an up and down chopping motion, and the rectangular shape is great for scooping prepared ingredients off the chopping board.
