"Forsvinner" 215mm Leaf Nakiri
215/54mm Leaf Nakiri - Right Hand 'C' grind
The disappearing feather... the cladding is a 4 forge-weld process resulting in the pattern you see, which was then clad around an ApexUltra core and forged out to shape. It's etched for subtle depth, then contrast and it will retain the pattern even through patina because of the nickel woven between each layer. The blade profile is slender and feels snappy but still blade forward enough to feel more weighty than it is when cutting. The "C" grind allows both the smooth, convex left side of the blade for guiding the knife with the knuckles and the joy of food release of a low, thin bevel below the hollow on the right side. If you're a right-handed lover of truly enjoying the cooking experience, this elegant nakiri awaits...
