Japanese hatchet Nakiri Samura Blacksmith sbl-0043

The traditional Japanese Nakiri hatchet from the Blacksmith series is a special kitchen knife for vegetables. It is ideal for finely chopping, cutting and crumbling. The blackened blade of the knife looks like a “Lunar Surface” - a lunar surface dotted with craters. It creates a special air cushion when cutting and prevents the pieces of vegetables from sticking to the blade. This greatly facilitates the work of both the cook and the amateur cook.

Hand-forged high-carbon steel AUS-8 Hammered, used as a material for the blade, is highly durable and perfectly sharpens – the main advantages for a professional kitchen tool. For ultra-sharp sharpening, the knife is manually finished on a Japanese water grindstone with a grain size of 5000. The wear–resistant handle of the knife is made of micarta, a material that has increased resistance to both high and low temperatures.

After use, the knife should be cleaned, rinsed in water and wiped with a dry cloth. Knives should not be stored wet. This is an important requirement to keep the blade in perfect condition for many years to come.

The Nakiri Japanese knife is sold in a gift box with a Japanese-style Japanese knife roll cloth packaging.
