Kazan SLD Wa Nakiri 165mm
- Description

- Use & Care
We developed this new line of Kazan knives with a knifemaker in Niigata, Japan, using SLD steel. SLD steel was designed as a cutting steel and is known for its strength, toughness and excellent edge retention. Kazan SLD has an HRC of 60 - 62 and has the edge retention of a carbon steel knife as a stainless knife.
Kazan SLD features a beautiful cross hatch pattern and hand fitted walnut wa-handles and each knife is finished on a series of stones for maximum sharpness out of the box.
Kazan is made exclusively for Chubo.
Why we love them: Carbon steel performance in a stainless knife at a reasonable price.
About this shape
Nakiri knives are the double edged Western style equivalent of a single-edged Japanese usuba knife. Thanks to their straight blade, nakiri are ideal for julienne, brunoise allumette an other precision knife cuts for vegetables. Also a great tool for cutting into very hard skinned produce like pumpkins and squash.
