【Straight-Edge Nakiri Design】This Nakiri knife expertly merges the control of a traditional chef's knife with the robust form of a cleaver. Its perfectly straight edge and squared-off blade excel at precise, forceful down-chopping motions, effortlessly handling hard vegetables (like sweet potatoes and carrots) where a rocking chef's knife would struggle, ensuring every cut is clean and efficient. 【High Quality Steel Core】Forged using 9 layers of high-performance composite steel with a 10Cr15CoMoV super steel core, this blade achieves a superior Rockwell hardness of 62. Enhanced with cryogenic treatment for greater stability, it delivers exceptional edge retention, wear resistance, and lasting sharpness for professional-grade durability. 【Ergonomic & Durable Rosewood Handle】Featuring a hand-polished rosewood handle with a traditional octagonal shape, this knife ensures a secure, comfortable grip and optimal balance. Highly resistant to moisture, heat, and corrosion, it provides lasting comfort and control even during extended use in busy kitchen environments. 【Ultra Sharp Edge】Each side of the 2.5mm blade is precision-ground to a 12° angle, creating an incredibly sharp double-bevel edge ideal for slicing, dicing, and chopping. The flat blade profile allows full contact with the cutting board, enabling fast, smooth cuts and perfectly uniform slices of leafy greens, herbs, and vegetables. 【Distinctive Finish & Non-Stick】The blade features a stylish stonewashed finish with a black oxide treatment, complemented by a functional hammered texture (Tsuchime) that minimizes surface friction and prevents food from sticking. Finished with copper nail accents, this knife blends practical performance with understated Japanese elegance.
