This 7 inch Nakiri knife is made with a high-carbon stainless steel.  The hollow grounds allow you to slice through food with much less stick.  The 18 degree precision cutting edge is ground on both sides and ensures easy, smooth slices every time.  The pakkawood handle is a great material for knives because when it gets wet it doesn't slip as much as other plastics and resins.  The knife is also perfectly balanced thanks to the stainless steel end cap.  This knife comes with a lined edge guard.
