Narihira Basis Chef's Knife 21 cm - Sharp precision for everyday use

The Narihira Basis chef's knife, measuring 21 cm, is an economical Japanese knife designed for excellent cutting performance. Crafted from high-carbon steel with a hardness of 59 HRC, it features a light wooden handle that ensures a comfortable grip. As part of Tojiro's budget-friendly series, Narihira strikes a great balance between price and functionality.

This knife is perfect for daily kitchen tasks such as slicing meat, chopping vegetables, and general cooking, where you need a reliable tool with outstanding sharpness.

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.

With the Narihira Basis chef's knife, you will receive:

• Japanese high-carbon steel with excellent sharpness and easy maintenance
• Practical 21 cm blade length for versatile kitchen tasks
