Key Features:
-
Aesthetic Fusion: The Kasumi Kuro Nakiri Knife seamlessly integrates the timeless elegance of the original Damascus series with the textured charm of the hammered series. The result is a knife that not only delivers superior performance but also showcases breathtaking design elements reminiscent of Japan's serene landscapes.
-
Premium Blade Construction: Crafted with precision, this Nakiri knife features a core material composed of high carbon molybdenum vanadium steel (AUS8). Surrounding the core are 32 layers of Damascus steel, forming a protective and visually striking outer layer. The blade is expertly hardened to an impressive Rockwell hardness rating of 58, ensuring exceptional sharpness and durability.
-
Hammered Finish: The knife's surface boasts a distinctive hammered finish, a hallmark of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Beyond its visual appeal, this texture serves a practical purpose by preventing food from sticking to the blade during slicing and chopping.
- Octagonal Handle: The Nakiri knife is equipped with a handle crafted in an octagonal shape. Made from robust black laminated reinforced wood, it offers both resilience and an opulent feel. The name "Kuro," meaning black in Japanese, is derived from the knife's elegant handle design.
- Practical Nakiri Blade: The Nakiri blade shape is highly practical, featuring a straight edge and spine, making it ideal for precise push cuts. With its blunt tip, it offers safety advantages in the kitchen and is not intended for rocking motions like a chef's knife. Instead, the Nakiri excels at slicing, dicing, and chopping with precision.
