Product Description
Not, not a chuka bocho / chinese cleaver. The craftsman, Ide san, was at pains to stress that his tall nakiri is a nakiri, so it's not for thumping through duck necks.
Instead it's designed to impart the cutting feel of the nakiri's thin blade with additional weight for effortless slicing, dicing and chopping. The blade path might appear a little narrow but that's a trick of the eye - 8cm of blade height does that.
Love the look, especially the finely polished edge that's common to all of Ide san's knives. Attention to detail. Lovely sharpness out of the box.
