This Eden Dento Nakiri is a great Japanese-style vegetable knife, In Japan the nakiri is used to precisely chop vegetables. The knife's edge barely tapers towards the tip. However, the tip is slightly rounded, so the knife can easily roll over the cutting board. Because of its superior characteristics it is amazing to work with and look at.

## Origins

The kitchen knives from the Eden Dento collection are made by hand in Japan by traditional knife makers. Not in an industrial factory, but in a small workshop. The knives represent the centuries-old craftsmanship of Japanese knife makers. The light weight, rustic finish of the blade and razor-sharp edge are characterizing for this knife. The knife will quickly form a patina. This is an oxidation layer that protects the knife from rust. You can recognize a patina by the discolouration of the surface of the blade. Read more about [a patina on a knife](/en/ct/what-is-patina-on-a-knife.htm).

## The blade

The core of the blade is forged from top-quality Aogami Blue Paper steel. This is a non-stainless carbon steel which has been hardened up to approx. 63 HRC for the Dento series. This hardness also ensures you can sharpen this type of steel razor-sharp. This core is laminated in between two layers of softer stainless steel for protection. These layers are finished with a rough finish, called *Nashiji* in Japanese. The knife will quickly form a patina. This is an oxidation layer that protects the knife from rust. You can recognize a patina by the discolouration of the surface of the blade. Read more about [a patina on a knife](/en/ct/what-is-patina-on-a-knife.htm).

## The Handle

The handle is made from stunning American cherry wood. The bolster is made from black pakka wood. The handle is shaped according to Japanese design and is therefore very lightweight. Because the handle is enhanced with a slight wax layer it can handle a couple drops of water, but it is best if you make sure it stays as dry as possible.

## Tips for use

The right use and maintenance is very important for this type of kitchen knife. The edge is very thin and hard. If you don't use it right you could damage it. Only use the knife on a wooden or soft plastic cutting board. Every sideways movement needs to be avoided. So prying, rocking and chopping is out of the question! You also need to stay very far away from bones and frozen food. Because the core of the blade is not stainless you need to immediately wash and dry it after use. Don't wait to do this after the meal, but immediately after using the knife. You always need to clean the knife by hand. Dishwashers will do irreparable damage to these types of knives.

## Sharpening Eden Dento kitchen knives

Don't sharpen these knives in a pull-through sharpener! Because of the rock-solid steel and the sideways movements that occur in a pull-through sharpener pieces of the edge could break off. We therefore advise you to carefully sharpen by hand on a sharpening stone, sharpening steel or with a sharpening system.

Remarquable en tout point. 
A entretenir correctement.

Kirschholz Griff und Klinge sind bei mir tadellos verarbeitet.
Nach meinen Erfahrungen können Messer dieser Qualität durchaus das Doppelte kosten.
Es macht mir wirklich Freude mit dem Messer zu arbeiten.

Ich habe das Messer mit Gravur bestellt.
Sehr freundlichen kontakt und sehr gute Beratung.
Das Messer liegt sehr gut in der Hand und ist Rasierklingen scharf. 

This is a very nice knife. I use this for fine work and have very good results on carrots etc so far. Whilst this is fundamentally a large razor blade on a stick it is at the same time a beautiful object and a joy to hold and work with. This is my first time as a chef using a wa handle and I've settled into it very quickly. Day to day maintenance is easy and I would say my experience with this knife has been a pleasure! Knives & tools as reliable as always. Cheers!
