Description
Description
The large Nakiri from Yoshimi Kato is a very unique knife.
This is a stainless cladded knife with the SG2/R2 powder steel core. The knife is ground super thin behind the edge, and at only 178mm in length, it feels very nimble. I like that you can get the same functionality as a normal Chinese cleaver without feeling too large (a Sugimoto 6 is measured at 220x110mm). This is more of a slicer grind therefore you should not use it to chop bones.
