{"product_id":"nakiri-170mm-6-8","title":"Nakiri 170mm (6.6\")","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe nakiri’s rectangular, flat-edged 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 turn the vegetable into an accordion. Brunoise, julienne, French fries, sliced onions, oblique carrots-this is where nakiris excel. In fact, make onion soup the first day you have a nakiri. The first few cuts will feel odd, but you’ll get the hang of it. After slicing the 10 onions needed for the soup, you’ll be searching the kitchen for another onion to cut just for fun. These knives are addictive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Takeshi Saji VG10 Cross Tsuchime Kurouchi Pinecone series is a striking fusion of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and bold artistic design. Hand forged in Takefu, Japan, these knives pair a practical stainless steel core with one of Saji’s most recognisable finishes. The blade features a VG10 stainless steel core, heat treated for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and relatively easy maintenance. This makes it an ideal choice for cooks who want high end Japanese performance without the upkeep of a fully reactive carbon steel blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eVisually, the knife stands out thanks to its Cross Tsuchime Kurouchi finish. The upper portion of the blade retains a deep black kurouchi finish that gives it a rugged, hand-forged appearance, while the distinctive cross-pattern hammer marks (tsuchime) create texture and help reduce food sticking during slicing. Together, these finishes produce a blade that is both functional and unmistakably unique. The knife has a slightly more robust grind than many ultra thin laser style Japanese knives, giving it a reassuring weight and durability while still delivering excellent cutting performance. Many owners describe Saji’s knives as having a substantial, handcrafted feel rather than an overly delicate one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e 249\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-single_line_text_field\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcrylic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e115mm (4.5\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 166\u003c\/span\u003emm (6.5\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 55\u003c\/span\u003emm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness at spine:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 2.0\u003c\/span\u003emm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness at tip:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e0.3mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDouble 50\/50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eVG10 stainless steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness (Rockwell scale):\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e61 - 62\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Takeshi Saji VG10 Cross Tsuchime Pinecone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57998806057343,"sku":null,"price":319.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/knivesforchefs.co.uk\/products\/nakiri-170mm-6-8","provider":"Knives for Chefs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
