The layering draws the rippling pattern across the blade, and it is also what lets TOJIRO run a genuinely hard core without the whole blade becoming brittle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe handle is a reinforced laminate, the material sold in the knife trade as Micarta. It shrugs off moisture, heat and knocks, will not swell or split the way timber can, and holds grip when your hands are wet. A stainless bolster sets it off, and the blade to handle join is curved rather than squared off so it sits under the finger instead of pressing into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA nakiri is straight from heel to tip so it meets the board along its whole length, and the tall blade scoops what you have cut straight off it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVG10 cobalt alloy core for a hard long-lasting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e63 layer Damascus cladding in stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforced laminate handle (Micarta) resists moisture heat and impact and grips when wet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless bolster for balance and a secure grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContoured blade to handle join for comfort through long service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Niigata Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TOJIRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55084204687659,"sku":"TFFVE180=OP","price":414.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.essentialutensil.au\/products\/tojiro-flash-nakiri-chopper-18cm","provider":"The Essential Utensil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
