Vintage 7 Nakiri Knife w/ Kullenschliff Edge

The Nakiri is a Japanese-style general-purpose kitchen knife similar to a Santoku ife. The blade of the Nakiri is heavier and thicker than the Santoku, resulting in a standard chopping motion versus a rocking motion. It performs extremely well at slicing, dicing, and mincing. ditionally, the blade tip is not sharp, making it safer to use than many other kitchen knife styles.

A Kullenschliff (K) edge, also known as a Granton or Hollow-Edge, is designed to create an air pocket between the food and the blade, helping to prevent sticking. This dynamic design is featured on both the Lamson Nakiri and ntoku.

Made from Lamsons proprietary Hi-Carbon American Steel, eir full-tang Vintage blades are cut, ground, polished and sharpened in eir Massachusetts facilities. Handles of exotic imported hardwoods are assembled to the blades with brass rivets and then the knives are meticulously finished and sharpened. The sleek, tapered handles facilitate both traditional and pinch grips.

Use: /p>

The Nakiri knife has a deep belly on the knife with a predominantly straight edge crafted for chopping rather than rocking. The side on the knife looks a bit like a meat cleaver however the Nakiri is lighter and has a slimmer blade, allowing it to cut through onions, tomatoes, carrots, and other vegetables quicker and safer.

The main difference when using a Nakiri knife as opposed to a Chefs knife or even a Santoku is that the Nakiri is built for chopping with an up and down motion.
