À propos de Touroku Sakai - Contrairement à de nombreux fabricants de couteaux spécifiques à une région, Toroku Sakai collabore avec des artisans de tout le Japon. Ils trouvent les meilleurs dans chaque région et les réunissent pour fabriquer des lames vraiment exceptionnelles. Tel un producteur de musique talentueux, ils associent des personnes et des compétences qui se complètent parfaitement.

Franchement, ce couteau est si agréable à manipuler ; parfaitement équilibré, comme tout devrait l'être. Un peu d'acier supplémentaire dans le manche lui confère plus de poids qu'un manche de style japonais moyen, mais moins qu'un manche classique riveté à pleine soie. La lame est fine et affûtée comme un rasoir, mais relativement robuste et facile d'entretien, grâce à son acier inoxydable VG10.

À propos de la forme - Un Nakiri est un couteau à légumes. Sous-utilisé dans la cuisine occidentale, la lame plate du Nakiri est conçue pour le mouvement de hachage de va-et-vient des légumes. Étant donné que le tranchant plat du couteau touche la planche à découper d'un seul coup, vous ne transformerez pas le légume en « accordéon », des légumes qui sont toujours connectés comme une poupée en papier après que vous ayez « fini » de les couper. Pour vraiment comprendre l'incroyable efficacité d'un Nakiri, nous vous recommandons de préparer une soupe à l'oignon le premier soir avec le couteau. La facilité de hachage vous épatera.

Stainless steel is super handy because it doesn’t rust or stain easily like carbon steel. That said, remember it is stain-less, not stain-never. While it is much easier to care for than high-carbon steel, it does benefit from proper use: use it, wash it, dry it and put it away. Always avoid the dishwasher!

USE  

• Only cut food you can bite through with this knife. Hard foods can chip the blade. No olive pits, bones,  lobster shells, woody stems or parmesan rinds. Cutting frozen food is especially bad  because the cold will make hard steel even more brittle. If you wouldn’t chew it with  your own teeth, don’t cut it.  

• Your cutting surface is the biggest culprit of dulling your knife. Use wood. End  grain wood is especially good. Plastic can be fine too, but certainly not glass,  granite or bamboo. 

• The edge of your knife works best sliding forwards or backwards. Scraping the  knife edge sideways will dull or damage the edge. Instead, use the spine of the knife to move foods across the cutting board. Do not twist the edge or pry with the edge, this is the worst screwdriver you ever bought and these motions will certainly  damage the edge. Listen to the knife! If you can hear the edge making a “tink”  sound on the cutting board, change what you are doing.  

CLEANING  

• After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water  and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.  

• Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them  with some food safe wax.

STORING  

• Protect the edge for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover  will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or in a travel case.  

• The convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives.  Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the  edge from contacting the wood first.  

• The good ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected, so  can drawer inserts. Whatever the method, it should keep the edge from touching  anything else.

Excellent

"Very Knowledgeable staff and great product !"

— Youngji W. (5/5)

Great veggie knife

"I purchased this specifically for veg prep and it’s a dream. It’s very nicely balanced, great weight and I really enjoy the extra little bit of blade length. Very comfortable handle even after a long day of prep. Highly recommend."

— Tina W. (5/5)

Great first nakiri

"This was recommended to me in store as I was looking for my first nakiri for my collection. I can't speak to how it compares to other similar knives, but my experience cutting with it has been excellent. The long blade and thicker material makes for a heavier knife, which is still comfortable because of the slight teardrop shape of the handle. Side note that if you're using a magnetic holder like me this will stick much firmer due to the amount of metal."

— Emmett (5/5)
