Shizu Hamono GEN Nakiri 150 mm — Back at Santoku Montenegro!
We are pleased to welcome Shizu Hamono back to the Santoku Montenegro collection, bringing together Japanese tradition, quality craftsmanship, and functional design.
The GEN Nakiri 150 mm is a traditional Japanese knife designed primarily for preparing vegetables. Its distinctive rectangular blade, wide profile and nearly flat cutting edge make it ideal for precise slicing, chopping and mincing directly on the cutting board.
Unlike a typical chef’s knife with a curved edge, the Nakiri’s flatter profile allows more of the blade to contact the board during a straight downward cut. This makes it particularly effective for chopping onions, cabbage, carrots, herbs, and a wide variety of vegetables. The broad blade can also help transfer prepared ingredients from the cutting board to a bowl or pan.
With a 150 mm blade, this model offers excellent manoeuvrability and control, making it a practical choice for everyday vegetable preparation, especially when clean, consistent cuts matter.
The blade is made from VG10 stainless steel, valued for its ability to achieve excellent sharpness and precise cutting performance. The GEN series combines understated styling with practical functionality.
