This range is made using a VG10 core steel with a lighter cobalt coating. This means the blade retains most of the statistics of VG-10 with a HRC rating of ~60 while the softer stainless steel coating helps to make sharpening easier.
The Nakiri has a straighter blade perfect for vegetable work with a design to make up and down chopping easier. It's a great knife for tasks such as julienne, brunoise or allumette. Due to its strength and weight it is also an excellent choice for chopping large hard vegetable such as squash or pumpkin.
