{"product_id":"spalted-birch-compound-nakiri-190mm","title":"Spalted Birch Compound Nakiri 190mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eBalanced beautifully, weighted for steady, controlled movement, and robust enough for the most demanding chopping tasks, this one-of-a-kind nakiri by Leszek Sikon is built to work. Forged entirely by hand, the blade is shaped from Leszek’s own steel formula and finished with symmetrical, compound S-style geometry. The concave section is formed traditionally through heat and hammer, while the lower convex portion is carefully honed, culminating in a slim, hard, razor-sharp edge that balances strength, toughness, and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEtched to a dark finish, the blade retains the marks of its brute-de-forge origins, contrasted by smooth, satin-finished lower bevels. The house-made material features a core of 26c3 “Spicy White” high-carbon steel, flanked by jackets of pure nickel and O1 tool steel. Prized by culinary bladesmiths for its fine grain structure and keen edge, 26c3 is also notably easy to sharpen and maintain. Standing a commanding 72mm at the heel and extending 190mm \/ 7.4” in length, the blade offers ample height and authority for the largest, densest ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComfort and control are delivered through a classic octagonal wa handle of light-hued spalted birch, tapering naturally from back to front before meeting Leszek’s iconic forged integral bolster. Purposeful, powerful, and deeply expressive of its maker’s hand, this nakiri is a tool meant for daily use and long service at the cutting board.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leszek Sikon - England","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52891571323155,"sku":"LSK-HCK19","price":1395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/1749\/8643\/files\/nakiri-vegetable-cleaver-leszek-sikon-england-spalted-birch-compound-nakiri-190mm-1219850653.jpg?v=1770671409","url":"https:\/\/eatingtools.com\/products\/spalted-birch-compound-nakiri-190mm","provider":"Eatingtools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
