{"product_id":"nakiri-japanese-knife","title":"Kiri Nakiri Vegetable Knife 6.7″ — Kurouchi Forged Steel","description":"\u003cp\u003eFlat-bladed and razor-edged, this 6.7-inch Kiri Nakiri turns vegetable prep into something closer to a pleasure. It is the knife to reach for whenever there is chopping to be done.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Kiri Nakiri is forged from AUS10 high-carbon, multi-layer steel. The laminated construction pairs a hard core with softer outer layers, so the blade holds a fine edge without becoming brittle, and comes back to sharpness easily with regular care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts wide, flat profile is purpose-built for vegetables — the straight edge meets the board along its full length in a single stroke, so you can dice and slice with minimal effort and none of the rocking motion a curved blade needs. The forged hammered kurouchi finish is left visible across the face of the blade, and the handle is rosewood, sealed with high-temperature wax for a smooth, secure grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA dedicated vegetable knife is a small addition to a kitchen that changes how you prep. Once you have one within reach, most other blades stay in the block.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlade material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAUS10 high-carbon, multi-layer steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlade length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.7 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlade style\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlat, wide vegetable blade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandle material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRosewood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNot recommended for\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCutting bone or frozen food\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is a Nakiri knife best used for?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts flat, wide blade is designed specifically for vegetables — chopping, dicing and slicing with a straight up-and-down motion rather than a rocking cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow do I look after it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eHand wash only and dry it immediately; it is not dishwasher safe, and prolonged moisture can affect both the steel and the rosewood handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow do I keep the edge sharp?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegular honing plus an occasional whetstone sharpening will maintain the edge.
