Ideal Steel 17cm Nakiri Knife

The Sabatier Ideal Steel collection, forged in Thiers, embodies French know-how. Robust, precise and durable knives, with a classic and comfortable design, designed for all uses in the kitchen, combining balance, elegance and everyday performance.

Coming from the Japanese tradition, the Nakiri knife is ideal for cutting vegetables. Its straight, thin and high blade allows for clean, even cuts without crushing food. Its rectangular shape also makes it easy to transfer cut ingredients.

This Nakiri knife features the iconic design of the Ideal collection with a POM handle. This very popular knife shape embodies the shape of French kitchen knives and has established itself in kitchens all over the world.

This model is 100% forged, i.e. it is made of a single piece of steel heated and stamped at 1200°C to form a single block of blade, bolster and tang, thus guaranteeing robustness and longevity.

It provides a balanced weight distribution making it very pleasant to use and alleviating the feeling of fatigue.

Its blade, with a straight back, is forged from nitrogen-enriched 4116 NITRO+ stainless steel.

With a hardness of between 58 and 60 HRC, this high-performance French steel with a cutting angle of 12.5° (i.e. a total cutting angle of 25°) ensures a precise cutting edge and optimal cutting hold, even after daily use.

This Nakiri knife finds the perfect compromise between performance and ease of maintenance, particularly with its high resistance to corrosion.

Its POM handle is known for its resistance to humidity, thermal shocks and daily wear and tear. Its ergonomic shape ensures a comfortable grip, even during prolonged use. The three stainless steel rivets ensure a solid attachment and its corbin at the end of the handle gives it security.

Made entirely in Thiers, the French capital of French cutlery, it carries within it the recognized know-how of Lion Sabatier.

Like all 100% forged models in the Ideal range, this Nakiri knife comes with a limited lifetime warranty, reflecting Lion Sabatier's commitment to the quality and durability of its products.
