It’s a mystery. Please investigate using your Hardy Boys skills. Report back to us when solved.

Hey @Xenif I found your son his first big boy knife Wakui Kurouchi White #2 Nakiri 120mm

(This is cute knife but I honestly don't know what it's practical for. My hands are small but not *that* small)

What's this "practical" thing you speak of?

 

[ma_sha1]

Looks like somebody broke a 180 Gyuto & kept its remains

Although practicality seems out the window, it serves as a useful reminder for the evolutional origin of Nakiri.

Oh also Shig Nakiri and Santoku (ku of course) on dictum for like 250 euros. I think Americans get 21% off that site

indeed, great price! (Anyone outside EU will get 21% VAT off)

The VAT is only 16% at the moment because of Covid19.

speaking of, i've been tempted by this multiple times, purely as a garlic chopper. Edge length 107mm:

I thought about garlic, but the reason why i like using my Heiji nakiri for garlic is its weight (to smash & loosen the peel). A 120mm nakiri wouldn't have the weight to do that, would it?

Don't you hit the flat of the blade with the palm of the hand. Weight shouldn't matter.

But I'd want more height for my big mitts, even with that short length. I think my ideal garlic knife would be about 100x100 square.

Dude Strata is turning into my favorite site. Evan is right up there with Koki in my book

I’m in. Who do we want to make it lol

 

[Barry's Knives]

For the record protooling is not discussed enough. Maybe its because they're not American, but they're selection is so good

Thats really cute, but recently he started getting comfortable with a Tanaka 165 nakiri, even drew first blood lol (don't worry, just a small cut, but now hes a lot more careful). Have to say hes getting much better at cooking

We all know it's rather pointless to speculate on the practically of a nakiri by now.

But I can imagine a waiter pulling two of these out, garnish and mince my fillet mignon into steak tartare by hand using 2 x mini 120 nakiri, shape and serve then using the same nakiris, all done table side.

Interesting. Thought Maksim dropped the Maz line

 

[josemartinlopez]

He said he found some of the old stock still there.

Is the Kasumi finish a big deal?

 

[CiderBear]

I wonder what profile the Mazakis are. The last batch from JNS was the barfbatch, but I wouldn't mind a bullnose one

Old stuff? And the profile is so new ...
Old on the page is "out of stock"
PS. Old or new, but Petty 180mm will always come in handy ...

 

[Chang]

heck. I hesitated because I didn’t think they were the charcoal quenched ones. BUT THEY ARE. and now the 240 is sold out.

 

[josemartinlopez]

8.5 and 10 inch Kramer Chef knives on auction soon.

 

[tchan001]

Good Luck JML. Win one and show us how you buy things.

 

[josemartinlopez]

Me? Buy a knife? Too much effort.

Good Luck JML. Win one and show us how you buy things.

And ruin the mystique? Never gonna happen
