Narihira Basis Chef's Knife 14 cm - sharp precision for everyday use
The Narihira Basis chef's knife, measuring 14 cm, is an affordable Japanese knife that delivers exceptional cutting performance at a reasonable price. Made from Japanese high-carbon steel with a hardness of 59 HRC, it features a practical black ECO handle. With a compact blade length of 140 mm and a weight of 210 grams, it provides excellent control for precise cutting.
It is ideal for finer kitchen tasks such as slicing vegetables, herbs, and smaller cuts of meat, where a larger knife would be impractical.
Economical quality knife with great features
The Narihira series is Tojiro's budget-friendly knife line produced under license. While this knife isn't as hard as Tojiro's other lines, you still get a tool with outstanding cutting capabilities at a very reasonable price. A significant advantage of this knife is that it is easier to maintain with a standard honing steel compared to harder Japanese knives. This makes it perfect for both beginners and professionals who need a reliable tool for daily use.
Practical size with good balance
At 14 cm, this chef's knife is particularly suited for precision tasks where a larger knife would be cumbersome. The weight of 210 grams offers a good balance between manageability and stability, allowing you to work accurately without fatigue. The black ECO handle fits comfortably in your hand and provides a secure grip, even with wet hands. The single-layer steel construction makes it easier to maintain than multi-layer knives, which is a benefit in busy kitchens.
Maintenance and care
To maintain the knife's sharpness, it should be hand-washed immediately after use and thoroughly dried. Avoid the dishwasher, as it will damage both the edge and the handle. Regular maintenance with a honing steel will keep the knife sharp for longer. When the knife eventually loses its sharpness, it can easily be sharpened back to life.
The Narihira Basis chef's knife provides you with:
- Japanese quality steel with 59 HRC hardness for excellent sharpness
- Convenient 14 cm blade length for precise cutting tasks
