Nakiri 170mm - Vegetable Knife

Flat edged vegetable knife, hand-forged by Daisuke Shimada of Shimada Hamono, in Yamagata, Japan. The straight blade profile is built for a clean push-cut straight down through vegetables, rather than the rocking motion of a chef's knife.

• Aogami No.2 carbon steel
• Tsuchime (hammered) finish, black laminated handle
• 170mm blade
• Best for: vegetable prep. Not suited to bones, frozen food, or hard squash/ pumpkin skins. Carbon steel holds a fine edge but is not built for hard materials.

Care note: Hand wash without submerging or soaking. Dry immediately after use. Do not dishwash or cut bone/ frozen food. Sharpen with a whetstone as needed.

This blade is carbon steel and sharpened to a fine edge. Please handle with care, use a stable cutting board, and store safely away from children.
