The Spectre Series 6" Nakiri Knife.
Gorgeous. Elegant. Ferociously formidable with unparalleled craftsmanship.
As part of Japanese culture since the 16th century, professional-grade Japanese knives have utilized the finest materials. Designed by our master artisans, the Spectre Series Nakiri Knife has been crafted incorporating centuries of traditional Japanese knife design along with cutting-edge nitrogen-cooled forging techniques. Featuring a perfectly balanced, ergonomic grip for incredible comfort and safety, and a shockingly sharp cutting edge. The defining characteristics of traditional Japanese kitchen knives such as toughness, sharpness, edge-life, edge-quality, precision, comfort, and ease of use have not been lost.
The Nakiri Knife
The traditional Japanese vegetable knife resembles a small cleaver. Unlike the thick blade of a cleaver, the Nakiri is extremely sharp and thin, providing you with smooth, clean cuts, allowing you to cut all the way down to the chopping board without the need for pulling or pushing. With both sides of the blade beveled, straight slicing motions are easy to achieve. The knife's broad side can also be used for crushing foods such as garlic.
Setting New Standards in Performance: The Blade.
Relentlessly sharp. Made from our own specially formulated professional grade high-carbon Japanese AUS-8 Stainless Steel for enhanced corrosion resistance and non-stick properties. These precision-forged, nitrogen-cooled blades are handcrafted and hand sharpened by our virtuoso technicians using the three-stage traditional Japanese Honbazuke method, to a perfect 14° per side for clean, precise, cuts, amazing edge-retention, and they have a Rockwell Hardness of 58 for maximum strength, flexibility, and blade edge durability.
Wondrous Comfort
When you grasp the handle of this knife for the first time it will feel like it was made for you specifically. Its Traditional Japanese D-Shape is designed to tuck right into your palm for unrivaled comfort and control. Its Mirror-Polished Smooth Black Spanish Pakkawood handle offers superior strength and comfort while its seamless build ensures that no dirt or debris infiltrates its pristine body. Its Pakkwood handle is also nearly impervious to heat, cold, and moisture, and has a Full Tang (which means the blade extends all the way to the end of the handle) for added strength.
