Based in Bursa—a historic manufacturing hub outside Istanbul—the family-run company has been crafting knives since 1879. Together, we’ve combined proven Milk Street design with traditional Turkish craftsmanship to produce a razor-sharp vegetable knife, hand-forged and hand-finished for laser-like precision. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy choose a Kantan Nakiri? Well, “all-purpose” European chef’s knives are clunky, heavy and too thick to precisely slice and dice onions, cut carrots into perfect coins or reduce chard into feathery ribbons. This exclusive knife is lighter, thinner and sharper with a design that resembles a mini cleaver—2 inches deep with a squared-off tip. Knife makers at Pirge hand-grind the high-carbon stainless steel into a very thin blade (just 1.6 millimeters at the top) with an ultra-thin distal taper. This means the Nakiri glides through tough vegetables with little resistance. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe broad blade shields your fingers when you chop and works as a bench scraper to transfer chopped veggies to the simmering pot. It also features satin-finished steel along the upper portion and a mirror-polished, double-bevel cutting surface for a smooth, cling-free slicing experience. And with the balance falling slightly forward of the handle, the weight of the blade does much of the work for you, making each downward cut feel almost effortless. A gentle curve accommodates fingers when choking up tight for control, and the signature Milk Street-style handle is hand-finished from glossy wood-grain polymer. It feels substantial, yet comfortable, in your hands, and provides a secure grip and precise control for all sorts of prep work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNet Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.3 ounces\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlade length: 6.75 inches\u003cbr\u003eBlade height: 1.9 inches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/b\u003eHigh-Carbon Stainless Steel (Blade), Black Polycarbonate Polymer (Handle)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlace of Origin: \u003c\/b\u003eTurkey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCare: \u003c\/b\u003eDo not use in dishwasher. \u003cspan\u003eThe knife must be washed by hand and dried after each use immediately to ensure no staining occurs.
