Kori Artisan 6.25" Nakiri Knife (7815-16)

The beautiful Kori Artisan 6.25” Nakiri is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife, designed with the fine slicing of vegetables in mind. It is the perfect tool to get those paper-thin cuts of radish, cucumber, or ginger. Characterized by its rectangular shape and width, the nakiri is great for chopping up herbs and vegetables, and transferring ingredients from cutting board to cooking vessel. T he straight edge allows you to make smooth slices when you draw the tip neatly across your cutting board. While the nakiri is very versatile and may look like a cleaver, it is not suitable for cutting bones. Canadian designed Kori Artisan knives are handcrafted for beauty, function, and superior performance. Taking over 60 steps to complete each knife, Kori Artisan uses advanced materials and crafting techniques to ensure your knives last you years. Each blade features a Japanese VG10 core, surrounded by 36 layers of hammered steel to create that beautiful layered Damascus pattern. The final point of contact is the handle. Using a beautiful, riveted canvas linen micarta handle, the texture provides the ultimate tactile sensation and control. It is completed by a traditional mosaic pin and end cap.
