What is a Nakiri knife?
A Nakiri knife is a traditional Japanese-style blade that is most frequently used for slicing, dicing, and chopping vegetables. Its straight blade has a symmetrical edge, which promotes a particular cutting style. For celery stalks, carrots, onions, leeks, zucchini, and eggplant, the Nakiri is suited for an up-and-down motion, unlike a Chef Knife, which uses a rocking action.
What makes Damascus Nakiri Knives special?
The Damascus Nakiri Knife has a magnificent, hand-forged blade made of Damascus that looks attractive, exceptionally strong, and long-lasting. High-quality Japanese 67-layer Damascus steel, noted for its excellent sharpness and edge retention, is used to create the blade. As a result, you won't need to sharpen your knife as frequently because it will stay sharp longer. Our Nakiri knife has the following features:-
- 7" Nakiri Blade
- Handmade Ergonomic Handle
- Design with Two Bevels
Is the Damascus Nakiri Knife suitable for both right-handed and left-handed individuals?
Certainly, with its double-beveled blade, the Damascus Nakiri Knife is suitable for both right and left-handed individuals, enabling us to utilize it effectively during cooking sessions.
How should I care for and maintain the Damascus Nakiri Knife?
Herein are the tips for caring for and maintaining the Damascus Nakiri Knife:
- Wash it right after use and dry it with a clean cloth to avoid rust
- Avoid soaking it for extended periods, like overnight.
- Use knife maintenance oil on the clean blade to prevent rust.
- After applying the oil, wipe the blade with a clean cloth.
Can the Damascus Nakiri Knife be used for both vegetables and meat?
Although this professional chef knife can be used for boneless meat and fish, its wide rectangular blade is especially well-suited for slicing and dicing vegetables.
Are there any safety precautions I should follow while using Damascus Nakiri Knives?
When using a Damascus Nakiri knife, follow these basic guidelines:
- Hold the knife by its handle, not the blade.
- Keep your hands and fingers away from the blade's path.
- Use a cutting board when chopping to protect your countertop and avoid accidental cuts.
- Cut away from your body to reduce the risk of injury.
- If a knife falls, don't try to catch it. Let it drop and pick it up safely.
