TOJIROĀ Nakiri DP Hammered 170mm (6.7″) is a new budget superstar from the hands TOJIRO’s blacksmiths.Ā TOJIRO’s secret recipe of hardening VG-10 steel doesn’t disappoint with their new line of hammeredĀ kuro-uchiĀ knives either. The knife is very sharp out-of-the-box and is ready to make some (precise) damage to theĀ all the veggies you’re about to prepare. Nakiri blade shape is a traditional Japanese knife shape, designed for the task of cutting vegetables. A knife that will be appreciatedĀ in the hands of a prep cook with mountains of veggies to prepare every day. Recently, many nakirisĀ find their way into home kitchens – it’s a perfect knife for vegetarians and veggie lovers. Chop away!
The VG-10 core, clad into a layer of softer stainless steel, is hardened to 60 HRC. Not aĀ super hard knife, but this also means it is not a very sensitive blade, so you’ll get a good ratio of edge retention and not needing to worry about chipping the blade very easily. The looks on TOJIRO’s new line is simply stunning – you’ll marvel at the beautiful hammer dents on the top of the knife which were left unpolished to give the knife theĀ kuro-uchiĀ finish. Hammer dents also have a function, they help with the food release.
TOJIRO fitted a traditional Japanese D-shaped-handle made of magnolia wood with a plastic ferrule. Nothing fancy here, but does the job just fine and keeps the overall weight of the knife low.Ā
