Hachi 150mm Utility

In keeping with the current trend for knives with a hammer finish we present here a range of handmade knives by Master Nokaji Hasegawa San. This collection provides the requirements of both the busy chef and passionate cook with a knife that is surgically sharp, long edge endurance, easy maintenance, and comfort. The blade is cold forged from a 33-layer stainless steel Damascus clad with a VG-10 core for
rigidity. Not only can this knife take a beating in an industrial kitchen but can perform with the same sharp cutting edge which makes this whole range a go-to for head chefs. The traditional octagonal handle meets a western style with the angle for an ergonomically friendly all-round knife. The knives are totally handmade using a hydraulic hammer creating a wider and longer mass, which is then cut away by laser.
These collections have what is known as a Hamaguri (Clamshell) grind which means the side of the knife is very slightly curved adding immense toughness to the blades – the edge sharpening is the same as other knives. Hachi handles are composed of stunning Dark Red Pakkawood with mosaic pin to fix the handle onto the full tang. The Bolster has a very gentle, deep, and long curve to minimize calluses
and strains during prolonged use. Every knife has its own Black Cardboard box, which is useful for storage when not in use and presents well as a gift. Wash by soft sponge with kitchen detergent and rinse well after use. Not dishwasher safe. Store in a clean, dry place. Please

Note: The handle being natural wood can vary in colour.

Utility:

The shape is basically a small Sujihiki or slicing knife. As the name suggests it is a multi-function knife used for the preparation of vegetables and precise cutting of meat and fish. The slim profile presents a smaller area to fatty, oily, and starchy foods where a wider blade would create a stronger vacuum and ‘stick’ more to the food.

Function – Multipurpose for preparing all food groups. A favourite knife of many home cooks who are uncomfortable with large blades.

Normal length – 150mm

Tip: This knife is also used for carving petite roasts, filleting and skinning fish as well as careful dissection of poultry without hitting bones. An extremely useful size for any kitchen.
