Calphalon 7-in. Katana Series Nakiri Asian Cleaver (KN0027VS)

DESCRIPTION:

Resembling a narrow rectangular cleaver, the blade of Calphalon's Nakiri knife measures 7-in. in length and is made from high-carbon stainless steel. Designed for slicing and chopping vegetables, this balanced piece carries enough heft to handle thick-skinned pumpkins while avoiding being too unwieldy for delicate tomato-slicing tasks. It features the design preferred by professional Japanese chefs -a one sided, beveled edge with a hollow-ground back. The single bevel design design means an incredibly sharp edge that's easy to maintain. Further, the hollow-ground back creates an air pocket, between the blade and the food being cut. The result is less sticking to the blade and less friction damage to the food.
