Japanese quality for everyday use
The Narihira series is produced under license for Tojiro, with the knives processed in the East and quality controlled in Japan. While the steel may not be as hard as in Tojiro's pricier series, you still receive a knife with excellent cutting capabilities. A particular advantage of this knife is that it is easier to maintain with a standard honing steel compared to harder Japanese knives.
Practical benefits for your kitchen
With its 21 cm blade, this chef's knife provides ample reach for larger cooking tasks. The light wooden handle ensures a secure grip, even when your hands are wet. The knife's weight distribution is designed to reduce fatigue during extended use, making it a great choice for both home cooks and professionals. The single-layer steel is easier to maintain and sharpen, extending the knife’s longevity.
Maintenance and care
To maintain the knife's sharpness, always wash it by hand and dry it thoroughly after use. Avoid dishwashers, as they can damage both the blade and handle. Regular use of a honing steel is recommended to keep the edge sharp. When the knife eventually dulls, it can be sharpened repeatedly, making it a long-term investment for your kitchen.
