Therefore, it should come as no surprise that a specialized knife shape was created for cutting vegetables. In this case, it is nakiri. \"Nakiri bocho\" in Japanese means exactly a knife for cutting vegetables, and its history dates back to the 17th century, where, next to a deba (one-sided sharpened fish-processing knife), it found its place in practically every household.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNakiri is characterized by a rectangular,\u003c\/strong\u003e wide blade (but not as wide as a Chinese knife) with a very slight curvature of the cutting edge known as the \"belly\". It has no tip, the cutting edge at the knife's forehead rises in a small arc. The standard height of the blade for this shape is about 5 centimeters, but there are exceptions to this rule - for example, nakiri made by master Yoshimi Kato under the Masakage manufactory, the Koishi series is a whole centimeter wider. Perhaps it does not look impressive on paper (unless we go to the surface of the blade - the \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003estandard 16 cm nakiri\u003c\/strong\u003e is about 80 cm2, and the Nakiri Koishi - over 100 cm2), but the difference in work is immediately visible. The width of the nakiri is important for functionality. The shape of the blade allows for easy handling of the sliced ​​ingredients, which facilitates the work in the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe blade itself is also designed\u003c\/strong\u003e for the most efficient cutting - narrow, with a very high angle - so even hard vegetables such as raw carrots and potatoes are sliced, not split.

As for the cut, its extreme sharpness makes it silky smooth. Due to the low resistance to rusting and damage in the form of chipping (due to incredible hardness), this steel often serves as the core in laminated knives. It is then used with amphibians made of softer steel, often stainless, thus eliminating both of its shortcomings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Japan-knives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46492473786715,"sku":"ZAF-165NAT1","price":310.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/3496\/7175\/products\/nakiri-16-5-cm-yu-kurosaki-fujin-aogami-super-ss_0007_1.jpg?v=1681252164"},{"product_id":"nakiri-16-5-cm-yoshimi-katoi-sg2","title":"Nakiri 16,5 cm Yoshimi Kato SG2","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlade Steel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Powder Steel SG-2 (Core) enveloped by stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cherry wood, pakkawood ferrule \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHardness Rockwell (HRC):\u003c\/strong\u003e 62-63\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTotal length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30,6 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlade length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16,5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlade width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5,3 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpine thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 155 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"286\" width=\"800\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/japan-knives.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/knife-dimensions.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3891\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/japan-knives.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/knife-dimensions.jpg\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKNIFE CARE\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe basic principle of maintaining stainless steel knives is to wipe them dry.
