Steel Introduction
⭕SPG STRIX Steel:

It achieves an impressive hardness of HRC 65, placing it among the top-tier stainless steels used for knives.
This steel offers outstanding cutting performance derived from extreme hardness, carbon-steel-like sharpenability and edge behavior, along with excellent corrosion resistance and toughness—making it an ideal knife material.

Designed specifically for vegetables, the Nakiri features a tall, rectangular blade profile that excels at clean slicing and precise push cuts.
It is one of the most practical vegetable knife styles for everyday home cooking.
