    Nakiri

    Japanese vegetable knife with a wide, symmetrical, straight blade and a blunt tip. The length of the blade is ideal for fine chopping, while its lightweight makes it comfortable for continuous use. Unlike other Chef knives, the Nakiri blade is much thinner, allowing you to achieve a smooth, clean cut on any vegetable.

  • Blade Material

    Shirogami

    The Shirogami steel is high in carbon content and is one of the sharpest metals for kitchen knives, but it is not stainless. It is easily sharpened and offers a better cutting sensation due to its thin structure. Proper maintenance and careful cleaning and drying after each use are required to avoid rust.

Description & Specifications

Usuba Knife

The Usuba knife is the vegetable knife in Japanese cuisine. In addition to its characteristic vertical tip, the straight blade rests entirely on the cutting surface, with just one motion. The length of the blade is ideal for fine chopping, even on the countertop of a home kitchen, where space is usually more limited, while its lightweight makes it comfortable for continuous use.

Blade Material

The Tojiro knife uses "Shirogami" steel as its core and is one of the hardest steels in the world. It is then forged by craftsmen with layers of iron.

If you want to cut food into very thin slices or create pieces with great symmetrical precision, and even with quick movements without leaving any food residue on the knife, then you will love the single bevel of this knife.

Its hardness level is 60 (±1) HRC (a knife with a hardness above 56 HRC is considered good).

Comfortable handle made of oak wood

The handle of this Tojiro knife honors the tradition of Japanese cuisine and is made of oak wood, a hard and durable wood that is resistant to continuous and hard use, as well as contact with food and kitchen materials. The round shape of the handle makes using the knife comfortable and practical from every angle, providing you with ergonomics and absolute control during use. The wooden handle harmonizes with the metal of the blade and is bound together with a collar made of genuine buffalo horn.

Cutting Surface

It is recommended to make cuts on wooden or plastic cutting surfaces. Glass, stone, and marble cutting surfaces are unsuitable as they may cause permanent damage to the knife blades.

Cleaning

Wash the knife with warm water before using it for the first time. After each use, make sure to wash the knife immediately (with a mild detergent) and dry it with a soft cloth. Especially if you have cut acidic foods, you should wash the knife immediately after use.

For your own safety, you should always wipe the knife away from your body and away from its edge, using a cloth or towel.

It is not recommended to wash it in the dishwasher but by hand, in order to protect its material and maintain its sharpness for a long time.

Sharpening

No matter how sharp a knife is at first, after some use it needs sharpening, something that you can achieve with a sharpener, sharpening stone or strop.

You can tell if your knife cuts well with an easy test using the knife and a piece of paper. A sharp knife can easily and cleanly cut through a piece of paper. On the other hand, a knife that needs sharpening will struggle and its cutting will be dull.

It is also advisable to sharpen your knives with a professional occasionally, to fix any damage to the blade's edge and to maintain sharpness.
