Blade Type
The Nakiri knife, revered in Japanese culinary traditions, is engineered for exceptional vegetable cutting. Featuring a distinct, straight-edged, and rectangular blade, it excels in creating uniform, precise cuts and aesthetic presentation. Its technical design ensures efficiency and precision, making it a valuable tool for both professional chefs and home cooks.
Steel Type
HAP40 is an extremely hard (often HRC65) powder semi-stainless steel by Hitachi Metals in Japan. It holds an edge for an extremely long time and will develop a patina with use. It has enough chromium content to ward off rust spots if left wet for short periods, but best to be kept dry after use. It can be tricky to sharpen without a coarse stone of around 500 grit to get the burr moving.
Recommended Maintenance
Store it in a dry environment using magnetic strips, knife rolls, or sayas. Avoid hitting hard or frozen objects and twisting the blade while cutting. These knives are not dishwasher safe. Clean with hot water and a soft cloth, and dry immediately after use to prevent rust spots on the high carbon steel. For more information please read the blog below.

This knife is made with a stainless steel and is easy going and low on maintenance. It has high chromium content, meaning it is generally considered safe to leave wet on the board for short periods of time. is still best practice to not leave this knife to air dry as it's stain-less not stain-none! Wipe down after washing the knife and store away from any sources of moisture.
Beautiful knife love the hammered finish and handle, put a new edge on it and it is so unbelievably sharp and performs amazingly

Thin behind the edge, sharp out of the box - cuts great. This is a trusted website and this is an excellent knife, like I think anything on offer here is.
