Blade Type

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.

First Nakiri

First nakiri I’ve owned… the tsuchime finish is exquisite on this nigara. I’ve used it a couple of times and it glides through vegetables out of the box.

Nakiri virgin

I was previously a virgin to Nakiri Knives, as I’ve only ever used s**t kitchen knives. I am absolutely in love with the Niagara Hamono nakiri. The look. The feel. The cut. The little slice on my index finger. This knife isn’t here to F spiders, it’s a force to be reckoned with. Cannot be happier.
