The Nakiri is the traditional Japanese vegetable knife. The straight blade makes it ideal for precise work such as julienne, as well as fine slicing and dicing. The deep blade also means it is the perfect tool for slicing through harder, bigger root vegetables like squash. The Natsu range is a stunning collection of folded steel knives made in Seki. 16 layers of hammered steel surround a cutting core of N10. This hammering effect is called Tsuchime and is done for two reasons, to add to the beauty of the blade and to prevent the food sticking. The handle is octagonal and made from red sandalwood with a black pakka wood ferrule. Natsu means “Summer” which we found fitting as we launched them in the Summer!
