Japanese utility meets western style. 

Triple-layered, Japanese forged chef’s knives: we have personally learned that upgrading to a quality knife makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE in your cooking experience. Keep in mind that 1-3 really nice knives is plenty for most kitchens. Its all about deciding which style is right for the type of food you prepare. 

KNIFE GUIDE : 
A Nakiri knife is best known for cutting vegetables, but it can also be used on boneless proteins as well. The Nakiri bears a resemblance to a Chinese cleaver. We recommend this knife as a first in your quality knife collection, similar to a Santoku or Gyuto. 

Also for the intermediate to advanced, this line was created to honor the Western style of knife from a Japanese approach. They are heavier in weight (as prized by Westerners) and more substantial in handle volume. They also need to be kept dry after each use so as not to rust, or oiled.
