Lamson 7 Vintage Nakiri Knife with Walnut Handle

The Nakiri, a Japanese-style general-purpose kitchen knife similar to a Santoku, boasts an impressive set of features. Compared to the Santoku, the Nakiri's blade is heavier and thicker, resulting in a standard chopping motion rather than a rocking one. This design allows the Nakiri to excel at slicing, dicing, and mincing tasks. Additionally, the blade's tip is not overly sharp, making it a safer option than many other kitchen knives.

Crafted with Lamson's proprietary Hi-Carbon American Steel, our full-tang Vintage blades undergo a meticulous manufacturing process at our Massachusetts facilities. The blades are cut, ground, polished, and sharpened with precision. Exotic imported hardwoods are then assembled to the blades using brass rivets, resulting in a visually stunning and ergonomically designed knife.

The updated Vintage Series from Lamson showcases a timeless look and feel, complemented by a new ergonomic design. The sleek, tapered handles facilitate both traditional and pinch grips, allowing for comfortable and controlled handling.

At the heart of Lamson's knife-making expertise lies their signature craftsmanship. Each knife is meticulously formed in their Massachusetts facilities, with state-of-the-art technology and hand finishing processes, ensuring perfection in every detail.

Unmatched quality is a hallmark of Lamson's knives. The blades are made from their proprietary high-carbon stainless steel (Grade 420HC-LAM), providing superior durability and corrosion resistance. The knives are also equipped with sleek and sturdy handles crafted from Infused Walnut, adding to their elegant and robust appearance.

Lamson's dedication to precision and performance is evident in the design of their blades. These blades are precision laser cut and tempered to a hardness of 58 on the Rockwell scale, resulting in a hard, wickedly sharp edge that retains its sharpness for longer. This combination of hardness and elasticity ensures superior cutting performance.

The full-tang blades with double brass riveted handles provide ideal balance and weight, further enhancing the cutting performance. Lamson's combination of machine and hand-sharpening processes ensures a consistently sharp and durable edge on every knife.

Ergonomic handling is a key focus for Lamson, as evidenced by the curved and recessed integrated bolster. This design provides a seamless transition from handle to blade, offering comfortable thumb and finger support for better control and safety. Whether using a traditional or advanced "pinch-grip," users can expect a comfortable and secure hold.

Lamson's commitment to quality is further reinforced by their Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects and their Sharp for Life program. This program offers a lifetime of complimentary professional sharpening on every knife they produce, ensuring reliable performance and a lasting investment.
