Nakiri Vegetable Knife & Petty Utility Knife Set, Handcrafted in Japan:

One of the most sought-after knives, the traditional Japanese vegetable knife known as the Nakiri, is becoming an essential companion to the popular chef's knife. This knife is cherished for its ability to chop through root vegetables and thinly slice delicate tomatoes. The Petty, sometimes called a utility knife, is a smaller version of a chef's knife and is bigger than a paring knife. The Petty will soon become your go-to knife in the kitchen.

Proudly made in Japan and not mass-produced, this knife set is complimented with a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted Octagonal Handle that is lightweight and ergonomically welded to the hand for seamless use. An optional and recommended protective wooden sheath called a Saya can be purchased together, which protects the knife and enhances its appearance when not in use.

The Blade: Exceptionally Forged Stainless Clad SLD High Performance Steel

High Performance SLD is a new generation of steel engineered in Japan to surpass the capabilities of existing metals. It offers high wear resistance with a hardness level that rivals carbon steel and a high level of stain resistance, resulting in excellent sharpness, long edge retention, and stainless durability.

Care & Sharpening: Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones. Hand wash and dry only, and do so immediately if working with acidic ingredients. Do not use on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods.
