The platform also supports and showcases other experienced Indonesian knife makers, making each knife a genuine product of local craft tradition. The kurouchi finish is left intact from the forge, giving the blade a raw, honest character. The nakiri's flat rectangular blade is purpose-built for vegetables, with a tall 60mm blade height for full knuckle clearance. The golden amboyna burl and rosewood handle with brass spacer elevates this nakiri into premium territory - each handle unique due to the natural figuring of the burl wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare and Maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after use - high-carbon steel will rust if left wet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a light coat of food-safe oil if storing for extended periods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpect a natural patina to develop with use - this is normal and protective\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not cut frozen food or bones - the edge will chip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen with a whetstone to maintain the edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in the included saya when not in use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39960411275342,"sku":"nakiri170","price":166.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/products\/image_2021-12-02_110023_1638417843441_resized1024.png?v=1660830538","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/kitchen-knives-id-nakiri-165mm-kurouchi-amboyna-burl-rosewood-handle","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
