Nakiri 180mm Silver Line 1.2419

Martin Huber is famous for his Nakiri's and Cleaver's. Forging large flat squares might not seem like a challenge, but actually it is one of the more difficult profiles to do well. Martin's Nakiri's are an absolute joy to use and although this is a knife primarily designed as a vegetable prep workhorse, you will quickly find yourself using the knife for more general tasks. With a fine taper, wide convex bevels and a lovely thin and razor sharp edge this is Nakiri will perform in delightful fashion. Balanced perfectly along all axis's the knife also sit exceptionally well in the hand. 

This Nakiri is part of Martin's "Silver Line" series, which is named for the nickel diffusion barrier between the premium 1.2419 core and the 1.2842 cladding.  Etched black for contrast, its striking look reminiscent of the Austria Alps with their white peaks. The blade is completed with a touch of forge scale around the spine and a lightly tempered neck. The handle is Martin's classic tapered Rokkaku Hanmaru profile in a beautiful black Palm and Bog Oak combination.

Martin is constantly pushing the boundaries in terms of performance and fit and finish. Every detail is carefully considered firstly in terms of performance and comfort and finally in terms style. This piece is certainly going to bring joy in the kitchen for many years to come.
