*Please note that the blade length shown in the specifications below is correct for the blade from heel to tip. This line measures from the handle to the tip so the name of the knife may differ from the actual blade length.
About Nigara Hamono - Nigara Hamono is a relatively new knifemaker out of Aomori prefecture, but they are not new as a company. The company has been around for over 350 years, tracing back to its swordsmith ancestors. Knifemaking is a small part of what they do; they also produce large steel beams and such for buildings!
About the Shape - A Nakiri is a vegetable knife. Underutilised in the Western kitchen, the Nakiriās 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 ādoneā 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.
