The Kasumi HM Series Nakiri Knife is expertly designed for clean, efficient vegetable preparation. Its straight edge and squared-off tip promote safe, precise push-cutting—ideal for chopping leafy greens, slicing root vegetables, or mincing herbs without rocking the blade. Constructed with a VG-10 ultra-hard steel core and clad in corrosion-resistant SUS410 stainless steel, the blade is hardened to HRC 59–60 for exceptional edge retention and resilience. A hand-applied hammered mirror finish minimizes drag and prevents food from sticking while adding refined visual appeal. The contoured black POM resin handle offers a secure, ergonomic grip that’s both durable and hygienic. Hand-sharpened by skilled Japanese artisans using a flat whetstone, this knife delivers the precision and control required for professional-level prep. A blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern performance, the Nakiri from the Kasumi HM series is a standout tool for plant-forward cooking.
