How sharp is the blade and who benefits from the 12° edge?
The blade is hand-polished to a 12° double-bevel edge, giving a keen, consistent cutting surface for precision work. This level of sharpening reduces drag across produce and makes clean slices of meats and vegetables easier for both left- and right-handed users.

What materials and construction make this nakiri durable?
