Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Dark Tessellation 18cm Nakiri best used for?
A Nakiri typically has a relatively straight, flat cutting edge designed for controlled chopping, slicing and push-cutting. This allows a large portion of the edge to contact the cutting board during straight cutting motions. A chef knife generally has a more curved belly and can be used for both rocking and push-cutting techniques. The Nakiri profile is particularly suited to vegetable preparation.
How is the Dark Tessellation Nakiri different from a regular chef knife for vegetables?
A Nakiri typically has a relatively straight, flat cutting edge designed for controlled chopping, slicing and push-cutting. This allows a large portion of the edge to contact the cutting board during straight cutting motions. A chef knife generally has a more curved belly and can be used for both rocking and push-cutting techniques. The Nakiri profile is particularly suited to vegetable preparation.
Can the Dark Tessellation Nakiri cut dense vegetables such as sweet potato?
The Dark Tessellation Nakiri is designed primarily for vegetable preparation and can be used for many firm vegetables with controlled cutting technique. Avoid twisting, prying or forcing the blade through hard ingredients. For particularly hard or large vegetables, a heavier-duty knife may be more appropriate.
What are the benefits of AUS-10 steel in the Dark Tessellation Nakiri?
The Dark Tessellation Nakiri uses AUS-10 stainless steel in its Damascus blade construction. AUS-10 is known for its combination of hardness, edge retention, corrosion resistance and ability to take a fine edge, making it suitable for a precision-oriented vegetable knife.
What is the return or warranty policy for this knife?
Chef Supply Co stands by its products and all Chef Supply Co branded products are backed by our limited lifetime warranty. Products not branded Chef Supply Co only carry a 12 month warranty unless the otherwise advised by the manufacturer.
We cover any faults of materials or workmanship at our discretion.
Can this knife cut through bones or frozen foods?
We recommend using a cleaver or specialty knife for bones or frozen items. Using a standard kitchen knife may damage the blade.
Is this knife dishwasher-safe?
We recommend handwashing to protect the blade’s edge and maintain the handle’s integrity. Dishwashers can dull the blade and damage the handle over time.
How should I sharpen this knife?
You can use a whetstone, honing rod, or professional sharpener. Regular honing maintains the edge, while sharpening restores it when dull.
What’s the best way to store this knife?
Store it in a knife block, magnetic strip, blade guard, or sheath to keep the edge protected and prevent accidents.
