This double-bevelled vegetable cleaver is designed for one purpose: processing high volumes of produce without fatigue. Unlike a curved European blade, the Blickling Nakiri features a flat edge profile. This allows you to chop straight down to the board, ensuring clean, complete cuts every time—no more \"accordion\" vegetables that are still attached at the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Steel: 3-Layer San Mai\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe blade is crafted from \u003cb\u003eAUS-10\u003c\/b\u003e, a premium high-carbon Japanese steel hardened to \u003cb\u003e60 HRC\u003c\/b\u003e. Because vegetable prep involves repeated impact with the chopping board, edge retention is critical. This hard core is sandwiched between two layers of softer stainless steel (the \"San Mai\" method) for durability. The blade features a distinctive hammered finish, which isn't just aesthetic; it creates air pockets that prevent starchy vegetables like potatoes and cucumbers from sticking to the side of the knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Handle: Italian Olive Wood\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWe’ve moved away from synthetic plastics. The handle is sculpted from natural \u003cb\u003eItalian Olive Wood\u003c\/b\u003e, chosen for its warmth and tactile grip. The lightweight nature of the wood balances the rectangular blade perfectly, making the knife feel nimble rather than heavy. Because it’s a natural material, the grain on every single knife is unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Norvic Difference: Hand-Finished in Norfolk\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMost brands ship knives straight from the factory box. We don't. Before this knife reaches you, it is processed in our Norfolk workshop. We regrind the edge on a water-cooled Tormek stone to a precise \u003cb\u003e15 degrees\u003c\/b\u003e, then hone it on leather, and finally strop it with \u003cb\u003e1-micron diamond suspension\u003c\/b\u003e. The result? A \"silent\" edge that falls through peppers and tomatoes without bruising them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCore Steel:\u003c\/b\u003e Japanese AUS-10 (60 HRC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/b\u003e 3-Layer San Mai with Hammered Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBlade Shape:\u003c\/b\u003e Nakiri (Vegetable Cleaver - Flat Profile)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHandle:\u003c\/b\u003e Natural Olive Wood (Ergonomic Octagonal profile)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Edge:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-finished to 1 Micron (Mirror Polish)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/b\u003e Magnetic Wooden Blade Guard (Saya)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCare Note:\u003c\/b\u003e This knife contains high-carbon steel and natural wood.
