Suncraft’s modernized 7-inch nakiri takes the classic Japanese blade’s typical rectangular shape and adds a soft, pointed tip for a uniquely useful knife. The blade’s geometry is more arced than a traditional nakiri, which makes it adept at mincing and rock chopping. Despite the curving blade, it retains a nearly consistent broad blade to the tip for finger safety and the ability to scoop chopped foods up to transfer to the mixing bowl or hot skillet. Suncraft’s classically styled “Senzo” line of knives feature AUS-10 steel blade, a tried-and-true knife steel that holds an edge well, is easy to tune up and is highly resistant to corrosion (though as with any knife, should be dried after use). The western-style handles are fashioned from pakkawood, a traditional handle material of wood stabilized with resins, which makes them impervious to water.
