The elegant Nakiri by Austrian knife maker Martin Huber is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship, blending tradition with modern metallurgy. Designed for precision vegetable preparation, this Nakiri features a 170mm blade with a gentle taper from heel to tip, ensuring effortless slicing with a smooth, controlled motion.

With a perfect balance and weight distribution, this Nakiri embodies the harmony between function and artistry, elevating the cooking experience.
At the heart of this exceptional blade lies Martin Huber’s signature steel, a high-performance core of 1.2419 tool steel, renowned for its fine grain structure, excellent edge retention, and ease of sharpening. Surrounding the core is a stunning 30-layer nickel Damascus, providing not only durability but also an elegant aesthetic that highlights the intricate forging process. The outermost layer features a stainless steel cladding, enhancing the blade’s corrosion resistance while preserving its striking contrast. This combination of materials ensures that the knife maintains its razor-sharp edge through extensive use, delivering cutting performance with every stroke.
Complementing the blade is a beautifully crafted full-tang handle, made from rich Mango wood with a durable G10 bolster. The handle’s classic Western shape offers a natural, ergonomic fit, providing comfort and control for extended use in the kitchen. The warm tones of the Mango wood contrast beautifully with the sleek modern bolster, creating an elegant fusion of tradition and innovation. With its exceptional craftsmanship, premium materials, and thoughtful design, this handmade Nakiri by Martin Huber is more than just a kitchen tool—it is a statement piece, destined to be treasured by those who appreciate fine craftsmanship and superior performance.

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.
