{"product_id":"deep-dive-petit-nakiri-118mm","title":"Deep Dive Petit Nakiri 118mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eSmall enough to tuck beside the board, tall enough to keep knuckles well clear of the counter, Korben Bloomfield's Deep Dive Petit Nakiri proves a compact chopper can still handle serious work. At 118mm \/ 4.6\" long and standing a full 50mm at the heel, it's built for the quick, repetitive vegetable work that happens dozens of times in a prep session: onions, herbs, garlic, anything that benefits from a straight, controlled push cut rather than a rock. Forged by hand in England from Korben's own house-made san mai, combining an 80CrV2 core with nickel, the blade takes on his signature \"dark-mai\" finish, built up through a combination of etching and forced patination until the steel reads like an oil slick caught in low light, shifting between black, brown, and rose depending on how it catches the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull convex bevels, symmetrical from heel to tip, are brought to a high polish, while the flats and tang above them are left with their forged texture intact, a welcomed contrast between refined edge and raw origin. That geometry keeps the blade thin and fast through vegetables without sacrificing the strength a nakiri needs at this height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrue to form, Korben builds the handle large and sculptural, the kind that fills the hand rather than just occupying it. Stabilized maple, dyed a deep blue-green and cast through with translucent grey resin, is shaped into a faceted, angular grip that reads as much like a piece of stonework as a knife handle, its swirling color shifting from teal to near-black to threads of copper depending on the angle. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Korben Bloomfield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54373733269779,"sku":"KBF-HCK13","price":1185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/1749\/8643\/files\/korben-bloomfield-deep-dive-petit-nakiri-118mm-1246923330.jpg?v=1787590870","url":"https:\/\/eatingtools.com\/products\/deep-dive-petit-nakiri-118mm","provider":"Eatingtools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
