Shizu Hamono GEN Nakiri 170mm
About Shizu Gen -Ā Shizu Hamono is a relatively ānewā knife maker, established in 1959 in Seki byĀ Masami Horibe, heĀ grew in Seki city, the city of blacksmiths, and naturally became a craftsman.Ā Producing a stable Kuro-uchi finish on stainless steel was challenging, so they tackled it head-on with the goal of producing āReal Kuro-uchiā(meaning no coats or dyes) knives to achieve high performance with classic beauty and ease of care. After 29 months of research and development, they finally found the technique to create a real kuro-uchi finish on stainless steel.
VG10 Stainless steel makes these knives super sharp, reliable, and easy to care for while the pakkawood handles are elegant and rugged.
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.
