I think he’s going to find himself making a lot more of these in the future…\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI mean COME. ON. Look at this thing! This wildly textured damascus steel gives me whiplash every time I walk past my kitchen and stop to stare at it. As gorgeous as it is, it also comes down to a laser-thin edge that blasts through vegetables. No wonder they picked the name ‘Kanko’, which translates to ‘Winter beam or light in Winter’.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSG2 stainless steel is very modern stuff; easy to maintain but capable of keeping an edge longer than most traditional high-carbon steels.

Underutilised in the Western kitchen, the Nakiri’s 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 “done” 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.\n","brand":"Tetsuhiro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46060339724462,"sku":"HOUC005PSG011","price":421.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/files\/Tetsuhiro-SG2-damascus-Kanko-180-nakiri-1.jpg?v=1738624538","url":"https:\/\/knifewear.mom\/en-au\/products\/tetsuhiro-sg2-damascus-kanko-nakiri-180mm","provider":"Knifewear - Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
