Hazaki Pro Series Nakiri 165mm
About Hazaki Knives - Hazaki, founded by Samuel Bouchard in Montreal, Canada, combines the best of both worlds: Japanese knifemaking and Canadian woodwork. Blades are expertly forged in Seki, Japan, from high-end Japanese steel and finished with beautiful handles in Montreal by Samuel and his team. Their knife blocks and magnets are expertly handcrafted in Canada from sustainably sourced woods.
I’m a sucker for a pretty blade, and this damascus steel is such a delight. On top of that, the whole line has badass kiritsuke tips and gorgeous dark walnut handles - I’m in love. While a pretty knife never fails to get me inspired in the kitchen, a knife needs to cut as well as it looks. Lucky for you and I, this blade is wicked sharp. Hazaki has used VG10 stainless steel, which keeps a brilliant edge but doesn’t require a ton of maintenance.
Hazaki prefers the natural look and feel of the Canadian wood used in their handles, so they are not sealed. I recommend a light coat of cutting board wax every few months to keep them looking and feeling great!
About the Shape - A Nakiri is a vegetable knife. Underutilised 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 kisses the cutting board at once, you won't be turning the vegetable into an accordion. Accordion vegetables are still connected like a paper doll after you're “done” cutting them. To truly understand the awesomeness of a Nakiri we recommend making onion soup your first night with the knife. The ease of chopping will blow you away.
