Carbon Steel Nakiri - 7" - 26C3 - Spicy White Steel

Crafted by Rhymer Knives in Athens, GA. Hand-forged by Zach Rhymer using Carbon Steel. 26C3 is very similar to Hitachi's White number 1 steel and is known by blacksmiths as spicy white. It takes and extremely fine edge compared to most steels. Zach's nakiri is a bit unique and is a little longer then standard and with his unique grind style should be an excellent vegetable knife. He has heat treated this to an eye watering 64 HRC.

With Zach's preferred Walkschliff grind, a difficult and unique compound grind that creates an "egg-shaped" edge, this knife offers excellent food release while remaining lightweight and sturdy. Rarely seen outside the highest-end European cutlery, this old German-style grind is a testament to Zach's expertise in the industry.

Comes with a custom Rhymer Knife Bag.
