Nakiri Knife
The Senshi Nakiri is a double-beveled knife excellent for working with vegetables. Nakiris are characterized by their flat profiles and squared-off tips. This profile makes Nakiris ideal for push-cutting and chopping. Our Senshi Nakiri Knife’s 8" blade is specifically designed to flawlessly slice, cut, and chop through vegetables. Its amazingly sharp, precision-forged and nitrogen-cooled blade allows you to cut all the way down to the chopping board without the need for pulling or pushing.
The Senshi Series
Stately and sublime. With its special steel composition, our Japanese AUS-8 steel blades meet the standard of a tough, rust-resistant knife with a significantly long lasting razor-sharp edge. Carbon and Molybdenum explains its rigidity and high wear resistance, Chromium and Nickel increases mechanical strength and edge retention, and Manganese helps increase hardness, reduce structural wear, and makes for easy sharpening. Put that all together, add our heat-treatment and hardening process to ensure durability, sharpness, and abrasion resistance, and you have yourself a new culinary life companion.
Alluring and gorgeous, with a visually stunning pattern that changes with the light like a hologram, our carbon fiber + G10 handle is arguably the most qualitative of our series. Carbon fiber is one of the strongest materials used today for knife handles. It is much stiffer than steel, five times stronger, and impressively lightweight to minimize fatigue. By infusing the carbon fiber with military-grade G10 thermoset, we've created a handle not only incredibly robust, but with resilience to thrive in the rigorous environment of the kitchen.
