Tojiro Hammered Nakiri 16.5 cm, Black

Tojiro Nakiri 16.5 cm – Precision in Vegetable Preparation

The Tojiro Nakiri vegetable knife combines Japanese craftsmanship with modern technology. With its wide VG10 steel blade and elegant hammered surface, this 16.5 cm knife is designed specifically for the efficient handling of vegetables and herbs. The black bolster gives the knife a distinctive look, while the three-layer steel construction ensures optimal sharpness and durability.

Ideal for chopping, slicing, and dividing larger vegetables, fruits, and fresh herbs in the kitchen, where precision and efficiency are essential.

Superior Cutting Performance with VG10 Steel Core

The Nakiri knife's core of VG10 steel, surrounded by 13 chrome stainless steel layers, delivers exceptional sharpness that is retained over time. The hammered texture of the blade reduces friction between the knife and the food, preventing ingredients from sticking during use. This makes the work more efficient, especially when handling large quantities of vegetables. The black bolster also protects the knife against oxidation whilst giving it an elegant appearance.

Ergonomic Wooden Handle for Comfortable Use

The Japanese magnolia wood handle ensures a comfortable and secure grip, even during extended use. The overall length of 305 mm and weight of just 155 g provide excellent balance that reduces wrist strain. The knife's wide 16.5 cm blade makes it easy to transfer cut ingredients directly from the chopping board to the pot or bowl. Please note that the knife is not dishwasher safe, which is typical of quality knives with wooden handles.
