Samura Inca Nakiri Knife 165 mm, White Blade

The blade is made of white zirconia ceramic, and SAMURA describes the Inca blades as resistant to oxidation. The double-bevel edge is ground on both sides of the blade.

A ceramic blade is made for slicing rather than chopping, so use this nakiri with smooth cutting strokes instead of hard, chopping blows. Keep it away from bones, frozen food and very hard ingredients, and handle it with care, because it can chip if it is dropped on a hard surface.

The handle is made of ABS plastic with a TPR soft-touch coating. SAMURA describes Inca knives as light, with a handle that gives you a confident grip. The knife weighs 125 g and measures 312 mm overall.

• Slicing vegetables into rounds and thin strips
• Dicing onions
• Cutting salad vegetables
• Slicing and cutting fruit, apart from pineapples

Rinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry before first use, then wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and dry it; a dishwasher is not recommended, and the knife should not be left in the sink for long. Cut on wooden or plastic boards, never on glass, do not use the knife for chopping, and do not cut frozen food, food with bones, pineapples, hard cheese, summer sausage or dry salami. Handle it with care, because dropping a ceramic knife on a hard surface such as tiles or marble may chip or split the blade; minor chipping of the edge during the first months is normal and does not affect cutting. Store it in a brush block or knife holder where the blade does not touch metal items, and never test sharpness with bare hands; use a piece of paper.

The Nazca-inspired Inca collection is SAMURA's tribute to the ancient peoples of Central and South America, with zirconia ceramic blades and TPR-coated ABS plastic handles. This knife comes with a 2-year warranty.
