The Tsunehisa SRS13
Nakiri occupies a sweet spot between a
gyuto and a large petty. It is a great all-around knife fulfilling the primary cutting roles in many kitchens. The knife excells in push cutting, rocking, slicing and chopping. We swear you won't miss the tip!
SRS13 steel is an excellent alloy developed by Nachi-Fujikoshi Metals in Japan. It is a PM alloy that can take a really sharp edge. It can also be sharpened with relative ease. The inner core is further strengthened and protected by a fully stainless outer cladding. The blade face is adorned with some fine kanji characters engraved on the blade.
The Tsunehisa SRS13 Nakiri is fairly average in terms of size and proportions. It measures 163mm at the edge and the blade height of 52mm allows for ample board-to-hand clearance. This
nakiri is a really great all-around kitchen knife. It has a deft feel and compact dimensions which endow the knife with a great deal of versatility in its cutting capabilities.
