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 Kuro knife line is developed utilizing the finest Kasumi production technologies. These knives are handcrafted by skilled artisans, employing techniques similar to those used for traditional Japanese swords. The central blade is forged from high-carbon stainless steel, enriched with molybdenum and vanadium, ensuring excellent strength and durability. The distinctive Damascus pattern on both sides of the blades is achieved through repeated folding and forging of the steel into multiple layers, while the irregular hammer strikes on the blade's surface help reduce food adhesion.
The unique Kasumi pattern, combined with the traditional Japanese design of the black laminated wooden handles, gives these knives an elegant and refined appearance. In addition to their beauty, Kuro knives are extremely robust and versatile, making them ideal for any cooking style, providing precision and reliability in the hands of professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts alike.
