Dellinger Japan Nakiri Knife 170mm Suncraft Senzo Classic Damascus VG10

The Japanese vegetable Nakiri knife, DELLINGER SUNCRAT SENZO Classic Damascus SZ-15, is perfect for slicing and dicing vegetables or herbs. While its shape resembles a meat cleaver, don't be misled. With its precise blade, you can effortlessly chop all types of vegetables into small cubes or strips.The height of the blade also allows you to easily scoop the chopped ingredients onto the blade and transfer them to the pan or pot. Knives from this series are slightly heavier than standard Japanese knives. The added weight results from cold blade forging. The usual thickness of the semi-finished product before pressing is 4 mm. This process, known as Tsuchime (hammered surface), gives the knife a striking appearance and prevents the cut material from sticking to the blade. Features an ultra-sharp cutting core made of Japanese VG10 steel, HRC60-61, sandwiched on each side between 16 layers of soft Damascus steel with a Tsuchime finish. This ensures exceptional strength, durability, and resilience. The knife blade is separated from the handle by a thin, red, heat-resistant ring, which allows the steel and wood to expand and contract safely, even in extreme conditions. The handle is crafted from Pakkawood material (an imitation of ebony wood). The Pakkawood material is highly resistant to water and moisture and is completely odorless. You can be confident that the material will not corrode, oxidize, or become softer and more brittle over time. This material requires virtually no maintenance, unlike traditional materials such as wood. Never wash the knife in the dishwasher.Do not use the knife as a crowbar and avoid bending it.Do not use the knife to cut hard and frozen foods.Protect the knife and its blade from falling or impact.
