The KC-565 Nakiri features a white steel #3 core/soft iron blade and a magnolia wood handle with plastic bolster. Nakiri are excellent vegetable knives, producing impossibly paper-thin slices, and making short work of precise chopping. The round front provides excellent back-swing that allows the chef to perfect slicing.
