Miyabi Koh Nakiri 33952-173

A traditional alternative to larger, Western-style knives, this Japanese-style vegetable cleaver features a unique blade shape thats great for slicing and dicing vegetables, mincing herbs and cutting fruit or cheese.

Miyabi pays tribute to the beauty of traditional craftsmanship with the introduction of Miyabi Kohmeaning light in Japanese. Classic, simple and comfortable to use in either a Western or Eastern hold, this cutlery collection is as functional as it is beautiful. The faceted pakkawood handle echoes those favored in Japan, and each one is individually weight-tested in a nine-step process to ensure perfect ergonomic design.

Forged from FC61 stainless steel, each full-tang blade is touched by 46 artisans and is hand-honed to an exceptionally sharp 9.512 degrees. The Friodur2 hardening process improves the microstructure of the steel for improved cutting performance, corrosion resistance and durabilityand the blades are polished to a stunning mirror finish. Sandblasted katana edges, a signature decorative pin and a hand-engraved logo add distinctive Japanese style to the minimalist design.
