Allday Goods Maldon Forged Nakiri Knife, 15cm

Description

This nakiri knife is hand-forged from high carbon stainless steel. It has an incredibly sharp blade and holds its edge well over time.

Nakiri knives are traditionally used to prepare vegetables. Slicing, dicing and mincing feel effortless with this powerful blade. You can use the wide, flat blade to scrape your board clean and scoop food into pans and containers.

Strong and well-balanced, this knife is a great all-rounder. It’s particularly useful for preparing tough vegetables like squash and celeriac.

The black scale is left on the blade to prevent rust. This is known as kurouchi or ‘blacksmith’s finish’.

The handle is made from waste plastic from Maldon sea salt containers. The octagonal shape and mint green colour make it a beautiful addition to your table. No two handles are the same, so each knife has its own unique pattern.

Each knife is handmade in Somerset.

About Allday Goods

The founder of Allday Goods, Hugo, used to work as a chef in London and ran his own restaurant. After closing down his restaurant and thinking back of many friends always asking for high quality knives that don’t break the bank. After working in a professional kitchen and seeing how much plastic waste there is, Hugo thought to combine it with notoriously high quality Japanese blades. After a lot of searching and translated zoom calls, he started a collaboration with one of the best knife makers in Japan, Yoshikazu. Hugo's first knife drop was a small batch of 100 knives was announced on Instagram in March 2021, and all sold out in just over 1 minute. Their first big launch was on Kickstarter in April 2022, where they reached their funding goal in 3 hours, and have continuously been growing since.
