Forged by hand in Suffolk, UK by Polish bladesmith LeszekSikon is a nakiri designed to perform a range of daily kitchen taskswith absolute ease and efficiency. And a great deal of tactile pleasure. Created only with heat and hand-hammering, this blade’s compound bevel geometry makes the nakiri’s task of vegetable chopping even smoother with its reduced friction and food release benefits.’Spicy White’ 26c3 carbon steelis utilized to create a strong but thin edge that is razor sharp below a convex stretch of primary bevel, built for precision cuts,andat the same time, combined with the knife’s satisfying overall weight, the most demanding cuts and densest ingredients. Additionally, a layer of nickel not only adds visual appeal, a trademark of Leszek’s well-loved ‘Graphite’ styling, but also ensures proper blade hardness and toughness, and is secured inside an outer, mild steel cladding.For grip, a simple and smooth piece ofdark claro walnut wood is shaped into a classic, octagonal wa handle that provides superb comfort and control in conjunction with the other feature Leszek is so well known for: a brute-de-forge integral bolster forged from the same piece of steel as the blade.
