About the knife type: Nakiri (vegetable knife)

A nakiri is a vegetable knife with a short, straight, wide blade and no tip. It gives fine, even cuts when you chop, slice and julienne.

A nakiri is not a cleaver. Do not chop through bone or frozen food.

About the steel: Chromax

Chromax is developed specifically for kitchen knives, and is very hard. Such a hard metal gives the knife very good wear resistance. Chromax is much less prone to oxidation than carbon steel, and so stays sharp longer. If the knife is exposed to acid, a 'patina' will form on the knife.

Care: needs a little attention

Care and maintenance

Wash by hand in warm water, and dry it straight away.

Never the dishwasher. Use a cutting board of wood or plastic, not glass or stone.
