KAI Shun Seki Magoroku Pakka Wood Nakiri Knife, 16.5cm

Nakiri is Japanese for vegetable chopper. The Nakiri is a traditional vegetable cleaver, ideal for chopping greens and all kinds of vegetables. Despite its cleaver shape, these knives aren't suitable for chopping meat or bones. The KAI Seki Magoroku Pakka Wood Series includes 12 different blade shapes. The high-quality steel with a hardness of 58 HRC and the finely polished blade edge give the knives a high cutting performance. The handle is made of Pakka wood — a dark hardwood, which is very oily and water resistant. It has a traditional chestnut shape. A polished black polypropylene ferrule complements the modern look of the wood.
