Due Cigni Hakucho usuba Kitchen knife

Description

This Due Cigni Hakucho usuba is a version of the nakiri knife. A typical Japanese vegetable knife. The tip of the edge is slightly curved to make sure you can also cut perfect strips of vegetables from an angle. Although the shape might suggest it, we are not dealing with a cleaver. After all, the steel is a lot thinner which means that chopping could seriously damage the blade.

Due Cigni Hakucho handle

The classic Japanese handle is made from olive wood. The soft, light-brown colour and the fragrance of olives radiate luxury. The flaming pattern adds an extra dimension to the handle. The handle was secured to the full-tang blade with three stunning rivets. To maintain the stunning colour of the olive wood, and to not affect the sharpness of the blade, we recommend cleaning this knife by hand. Dry it after cleaning it to prevent discolourations or tears and to make sure the wood doesn't bend.

Due Cigni Hakucho blade

The blade is made from 4116-X50Cr15MOV steel and has a smooth, razor-sharp edge. This type of steel is also easy to sharpen, if, after some time, it has lost some of its sharpness. The stunning markings on the blade complete the whole.

Due Cigni Hakucho collection

The kitchen knives from the Due Cigni Hakucho collection were designed by Oreste Frati. The founder of FOX Knives. In addition to being the owner of Fox Knives, he is a gifted designer.
