The Nakiri knife is a traditional Japanese tool primarily used for cutting vegetables. Characterized by a wide, rectangular blade with straight edges, this knife allows for precise and uniform cuts, ideal for vegetables such as carrots, cucumbers, zucchinis, and more. The shape of the blade enables easy downward cutting motion without needing a balancing movement like with other types of knives. This makes the Nakiri knife particularly suitable for preparing dishes that require a large quantity of sliced vegetables, such as salads, stir-fries, and vegetable-based dishes.
The Kasumi Tora line stands out for its essential design and the quality of the materials used. The blade is made of solid carbon steel, enriched with Vanadium Molybdenum, a popular Japanese steel renowned for its excellent cutting performance. This material offers superior rust resistance and ease of sharpening, ensuring that the blade remains sharp and efficient over time.
The handle is crafted from magnolia wood, treated with black epoxy resin to improve durability and resist external agents. This treatment not only gives the handle an elegant and modern appearance but also provides exceptional comfort during use. The handle is lightweight and well-balanced, allowing for precise control and reducing hand fatigue even during extended work sessions.
