20cm Slicing knife-SD-0045

Original Japanese hammered Damascus steel VG-10 with 67 layers is the most distinctive feature of this Samura series, which is designed for both professional and home kitchens. Damascus steel has been used historically in the manufacture of swords. Samura’s Nakiri knife is made with compliance of the traditional Japanese standards, which were designed centuries ago for samurai swords. So, with this traditional Japanese vegetable knife you can start getting used to an idea that you’re holding a small sword in your hand while cutting and shredding. The best feature of Nakiri knives is that you can use it effortlessly on the board without pushing or pulling it. Its flat edge feels and looks a lot like a slim cleaver with the edge angled from both sides. However, unlike Santoku for example, which is a lot more versatile, Nakiri tends to be specialized for vegetable application. Generally speaking the right Nakiris are characterized by their flat profiles and squared off tips. Considering the knife’s specialty, it will be most suitable for those professional cooks or cooking enthusiasts, who know the difference and therefore will appreciate such a professional tool. The ergonomic handle made of high quality G10 material (high-pressure fiberglass laminate) with a spectacular design ensures a super comfortable grip and feel. The classic shape of the handle ensures a sticking-firm grip, which is needed for the best cutting results and maneuverability. This single-piece tool could make a great gift for many occasions, such as a birthday, Mother’s or Father’s Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year and so on. A perfect combination of quality and performance characteristics along with a remarkable blade pattern and sharpening will impress even the most picky kitchen chef ever.
