Vintage 7" Nakiri Chef Knife w/ Kullenschliff Edge

Story

A Japanese all-purpose knife built to breeze through everyday kitchen tasks

As the oldest cutlery manufacturer in the USA, Lamson knows a thing or two about knives. They’ve been churning out top-tier kitchenware since 1837—the same year that Michigan was admitted as a state, and the same year Houston was granted a city charter. They channeled those 185 years of experience into this Japanese all-purpose knife, built to breeze through chopping, slicing, dicing, and mincing tasks. Made from Lamson’s proprietary hi-carbon American steel that’s cut, ground, polished, and sharpened in their Massachusetts facilities. It doesn’t get more authentic than that.

Care

• Hone your knife regularly (as frequently as with every use) with a honing steel or leather strop to maintain its edge
• If the edge remains dull after honing, please have your knife professionally sharpened
• Use wood or plastic cutting boards only
• Clean knife after every use
• Hand wash only in warm soapy water with mild detergent
• Dry knife immediately after washing
• Do not use dishwasher
• Lamson recommends the use of Lamson Mineral Oil for protecting and enhancing wooden handled knives
• Apply oil with a soft cloth periodically to help prevent the wood from drying out
• Store knives properly with a protective cover, wooden knife block, wooden knife tray, or magnetic strip
• Use knives only as intended
• Never use a knife as a chisel, screwdriver, can opener, or for any other purpose for which it was not designed
