Nakiri vegetable knife

This is a 175 mm in-house laminated steel knife. The layers are made from wrought iron cartwheel rims and old plough tines, with a 26C3 high carbon steel cutting edge. The knife was fully forged and profiled with distal taper throughout the blade. It has a traditional style horn and wood handle with a hidden tang construction, shaped with right handed bias. A full acid etch gives pattern contrast. The blade was sharpened on Japanese whetstones.
