À propos de Shizu Gen - Shizu Hamono est un coutelier relativement « nouveau », créé en 1959 à Seki par Masami Horibe. Il a grandi dans la ville de Seki, la ville des forgerons, et est naturellement devenu un artisan. Produire une finition Kuro-uchi stable sur l'acier inoxydable était un défi, c'est pourquoi ils s'y sont attaqués de front dans le but de produire des couteaux « Real Kuro-uchi » (c'est-à-dire sans revêtement ni teinture) afin d'obtenir des performances élevées avec une beauté classique et une facilité d'entretien. Après 29 mois de recherche et développement, ils ont finalement trouvé la technique pour créer une véritable finition kuro-uchi sur l'acier inoxydable.

L'acier inoxydable VG10 rend ces couteaux super tranchants, fiables et faciles à entretenir, tandis que les manches en bois de pakka sont élégants et robustes.


À propos de la forme - Un Nakiri est un couteau à légumes. Sous-utilisé dans la cuisine occidentale, la lame plate du Nakiri est destinée à la découpe par poussée/traction des légumes. Comme tout le bord plat du couteau touche la planche à découper en même temps, vous ne transformerez pas le légume en accordéon. Les légumes en accordéon sont toujours connectés comme une poupée en papier après que vous ayez « fini » de les couper. Pour vraiment comprendre la génialité d'un Nakiri, nous vous recommandons de préparer une soupe à l'oignon votre première nuit avec le couteau. La facilité de découpe vous épatera.

Stainless steel is super handy because it doesn’t rust or stain easily like carbon steel. That said, remember it is stain-less, not stain-never. While it is much easier to care for than high-carbon steel, it does benefit from proper use: use it, wash it, dry it and put it away. Always avoid the dishwasher!

USE  

• Only cut food you can bite through with this knife. Hard foods can chip the blade. No olive pits, bones,  lobster shells, woody stems or parmesan rinds. Cutting frozen food is especially bad  because the cold will make hard steel even more brittle. If you wouldn’t chew it with  your own teeth, don’t cut it.  

• Your cutting surface is the biggest culprit of dulling your knife. Use wood. End  grain wood is especially good. Plastic can be fine too, but certainly not glass,  granite or bamboo. 

• The edge of your knife works best sliding forwards or backwards. Scraping the  knife edge sideways will dull or damage the edge. Instead, use the spine of the knife to move foods across the cutting board. Do not twist the edge or pry with the edge, this is the worst screwdriver you ever bought and these motions will certainly  damage the edge. Listen to the knife! If you can hear the edge making a “tink”  sound on the cutting board, change what you are doing.  

CLEANING  

• After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water  and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.  

• Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them  with some food safe wax.

STORING  

• Protect the edge for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover  will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or in a travel case.  

• The convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives.  Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the  edge from contacting the wood first.  

• The good ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected, so  can drawer inserts. Whatever the method, it should keep the edge from touching  anything else.

Indepth on the Shizu Hamono GEN Nakiri 170mm

    Nakiri

    A Nakiri is a vegetable knife. Underutilised in the Western kitchen, the Nakiri’s flat blade is meant for the push/pull chopping of vegetables. Since the entire flat edge of the knife kisses the cutting board at once, you won't be turning the vegetable into an accordion. To truly understand the awesomeness of a Nakiri we recommend making onion soup your first night with the knife. The ease of chopping will blow you away.

Big Job Knife

"I recently purchased this style of knife to help when slicing harder and /or harder food items. Well it sure worked well on my butternut squash. Pineapple? Bring it on! Love it! Just the right size for my small hand."

The GOAT!!

"Absolutely love this knife. This is the second one I’ve bought from Knifewear and every time I visit Vancouver BC I’m picking up another one! Cuts amazingly and looks great. The staff is top notch and a main reason for coming back each time! We had a Whale of a time!!!"

Awesome Wedding Gift

"This knife slices through veggies with ease. The handle is comfortable and the blade is the right length for most preps."

— Sue L. (5/5)

Great for Vege!

"I bought this Nakiri mainly because I have a soft spot for Kurouchi blades and wanted something stainless and solid enough for the harder Vegetables like potato, carrots and kabocha. It is perfect and has become one of my top 3 most used knives. It even replaces my madoline for some tasks as it is just more fun to slice and Julienne with this knife."

— Rui D. (5/5)

Comfortable and holds its edge well

"I got this knife because the “made in” Nakiri knife I bought was terrible, it was heavy, and lost its edge after one use. This Shizu Hamono has been amazing so far. Very comfortable to hold, great weight to it, not too heavy not too light and it actually holds its edge. So far no complaints."

— Amir D. (5/5)

My first Nakari and now I get it

"Struggling with other styles of knives to cut veggies is now a thing of the past. Picked up the Nakiri a few weeks ago and have been enjoying the experience of using a purpose designed knife for the task."
