{"product_id":"mountain-mist-nakiri-177mm","title":"Mountain Mist Nakiri 177mm","description":"\u003cp\u003ePowerful and precise. Rustic and refined. Artful and versatile. Master bladesmith Aaron Wilburn's ability to deliver, hand-in-hand, the attributes a working chef requires with the thoughtful aesthetic we're drawn to will always get our attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blade in house-made, stainless-clad steel combines elements of the traditional Japanese nakiri with the weight and balance of a vegetable cleaver, delivering a blade that moves through every ingredient with ease. A long handle controls the 177mm \/ 7.0\" edge and its gently curved profile, producing a chopping tool that feels larger than its dimensions. A forward-weighted balance point, sitting almost an inch in front of the heel, lets gravity assist with every cut. The blade's spine is wide and sturdy in support of this feeling of power in the hand, while Wilburn's convex bevel geometry tapers to a very thin, hard, razor-sharp edge below, so even the most delicate work can be performed alongside the most demanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the edge, Japanese Aogami White high-carbon steel does the work, backed by a thin vein of pure nickel and jacketed in satin-finished stainless steel that retains the marks of the blade's hand-forged origins along the upper flats. Like mist rising from a mountain lake, carbon migration and alloy banding add a beautiful dimension to the five-layer material's finish above the nickel line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe knife's hidden tang construction sees the forged steel disappear into a bolster of striking amboyna burl, a polished, tapering, octagonal cut of figured maple completing the handle. An heirloom culinary tool to reach for daily and admire for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aaron Wilburn - Idaho","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54270894670099,"sku":"AWB-HCK18","price":2450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/1749\/8643\/files\/nakiri-vegetable-cleaver-aaron-wilburn-idaho-mountain-mist-nakiri-177mm-1243811644.jpg?v=1790362931","url":"https:\/\/eatingtools.com\/products\/mountain-mist-nakiri-177mm","provider":"Eatingtools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
