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.

Product Care:
Cleaning: Clean by hand with warm water. Avoid wetting the handle when possible.
Sharpening: We advise using whetstones to sharpen your knives and a honing rod or steel to maintain the burr between sharpening sessions.
Reactive Steels: Reactive steels like Aogami Super, Apex Ultra or one of the many premium reactive German and Swedish steels are susceptible to rust if not properly cared for. In this case we advise that you keep the knife dry between uses and when storing the knife for longer periods wiping the knife blade with Tsubaki oil or another food safe oil is a wise choice. This will not stop a patina forming on the blade, but it will stop rust. A patina can be a beautiful personal feature on your knife and helps to stop rust forming. So, dry your knife regularly between uses, store in a dry place and apply some Tsubaki oil from time to time when storing for long periods.

Handle Care: If you have a knife with a non-stabilised wooden handle, you can apply Tsubaki oil or another food safe oil to your handle from time to time. Food safe wax can be applied to both stabilised and no-stabilised wooden handles. Never apply hot wax or oil as you risk warping or damaging the handle.
