Vegetable Knife 18 cm
Japanese-style vegetable knife for swift and precise prep
The pace of professional kitchen prep demands uncompromising cutting efficiency. The broad, straight nakiri blade geometry ensures the cutting edge makes full board contact, allowing clean slicing, chopping, and dicing without unnecessary sawing motions.
Cromova 18 steel for lasting razor sharpness
The blade is crafted from premium Cromova 18 stainless steel, an optimal alloy of chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium that delivers superior edge retention and corrosion resistance. Ground to an acute 15° double-bevel edge with a hardness of 56–58 HRC, it glides through even dense root vegetables without crushing delicate cell structures.
Sand-filled hollow handle for exact balance
A hollow, seamless all-metal handle filled with sand establishes a perfectly balanced centre of gravity between blade and grip. The signature dimpled surface provides a secure non-slip grip even with wet hands, while the hygienic one-piece construction eliminates food traps for effortless sanitation.
To preserve edge sharpness and material integrity, hand wash only with warm water and dry immediately with a soft cloth.
