Product Description

The Spyderco Itamae Nakiri K17GPBNBK represents the perfect fusion of traditional Japanese cutlery and modern ergonomic engineering. As part of the elite Itamae Series, this Nakiri features a high-performance "San Mai" laminated blade. The core is crafted from Aogami Super Blue carbon steel, renowned for its ability to take and hold a laser-sharp edge, while the outer layers of SUS410 stainless steel provide essential durability and corrosion resistance.

The blade is ground exceptionally thin and features Murray Carter’s signature "Carter Elbow," a unique distal taper that optimizes balance and reinforces the tip. The traditional octagonal "wa"-style handle is made from stunning Burl G-10, accented by a black G-10 ferrule. This material choice provides the timeless look of wood with the industrial-grade moisture resistance and hygiene required in a professional kitchen. Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan, the Itamae Nakiri is an essential tool for chefs who prioritize efficiency and precision in vegetable preparation.
