Nakiri with handle of paduk and red beech

This Nakiri is from the batch of Bräkne-Hoby knives. The blade is from an old horse-drawn carriage that rolled through the village. The blade has then been forged with nickel and 26C3 as edge steel. The hardness of the edge steel is approximately 64 HRC. The knife is also etched in ferric chloride, this to bring out the different contrasts.

The blade length is approximately 185 mm and the total length is approximately 350 mm. Height from spine to heel is approximately 50 mm and the knife weighs 165 grams. The handle is made of paduk and red beech.

This knife is not stainless but made of carbon steel, so remember to hand wash and dry the knife thoroughly after each use.
