TOJIRO BASIC Nakiri 165mm

The TOJIRO BASIC is a super stripped-down high-performance knife, including only the most basic components needed to blow your mind with every cut. A blade fashioned from VG10 stainless steel ensures crazy sharpness and next-level edge retention, while the super-basic handle is durable,comfortable, and nothing else.While I’m a bit of a magpie for flashy knives, I have to appreciate how unapologetically simple this knife is. With no distractions, you can focus on the joy of cutting and cooking your favourite foods for you and your loved ones. Maximalism be damned, I love this knife!

About the Shape – Underutilized in the western kitchen, the nakiri’s flat blade is meant for the push/pull chopping of vegetables. Since the entire flat edge of the knife touches the cutting board at once, you won’t be turning the vegetable into an ‘accordion’, pieces that are still connected by a thread after you’ve cut them. The added weight of the blade allows it to fall through food more easily while you chop, so the knife does more of the work for you! How great is that?
