Japanese Style Nakiri
The Nakiri - Japanese style vegetable knife from the MM Knifeworks division of MM Makes. This custom made knife can be used to cut vegetables but also can be use to cut just about anything! It is hammer forged and crafted from high carbon 1095 steel. This holds a razor sharp edge. It is clay hardened in the traditional Japanese way. This creates a hamon - the visible line between the hardened blade edge and softer unhardened spine. The handle material is made epoxy encapsulated canvas and the mosaic pins are a signature of a MMKnifeworks creation. It is offset by a copper bolster between the handle and the blade.
Each knife is custom made to order and takes between 3-6 weeks for delivery depending on option.
