Coconut Palm Nakiri 181mm

Shaped with extraordinary care and precision forefficientvegetable chopping in home and professional kitchens alike, you may find it difficult to put this, or anySean Alonzo creation, down, once held. Sean of Balete Blades, working from his shop in Metro Manila, Philippines, selected the high-performance stainless steel alloy Nitro-V for the 181mm / 7.1″ blade of this one-of-a-kind nakiri, giving the tall, fully convex, symmetrical primary bevels a silky, satin finish, and the very thin secondary bevels a razor-sharp edge. Balancing superbly just in front of the handle where the blade grind’s plunge linefades gently into the rounded, polished spine, there is no doubt in the operator mind that the steel at hand is poised to move effortlessly through ingredients. For comfort and control during those push-pull movements for which the nakiri’s flat edge and tipless profile is designed, Sean has sculpted a handle from striking coconut palm, stabilized for longevity, and layered atop thick liners of brass-infused carbon fiber which hug the full and tapered blade tang. Two flush brass bolts, one large, one small, accent and secure the handle’s other ingredients.
