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

VG10 steel, a high-end Japanese stainless steel, is renowned for its superior edge retention and sharpness. Enriched with carbon and chromium, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. The addition of cobalt, molybdenum, and vanadium enhances its hardness and durability, making VG10 steel ideal for a great everyday workhorse knife steel.

Hatsukokoro Hayabusa Nakiri 180mm

The knife is incredibly light & comfortable in the hand. The performance is excellent, with the ability to perform multiple types of cutting quickly & effortlessly. The cutting/ chopping is precise. Vegetables chopped with the Nakiri look as if a professional prepared them. Essentially, it’s the Chef’s best friend for its versatility, whilst maintaining a sturdy & sharp blade. When wiped clean, it looks new after months of daily use. I could highly recommend this product for both domestic & professional use in a commercial kitchen.
