Description: A menkiri is a noodle-cutting knife. The long, straight, razor-sharp edge contacts the cutting board completely to make cutting a folded sheet of fresh noodle dough almost effortless. Of course, in the same way that it can help you cut beautiful, even, delicious noodles, it is equally adept at cutting a full range of fresh, homemade pastas. And it can even provide excellent cutting control for slicing vegetables.
This Menkiri Includes a traditional Japanese wooden saya (sheath) to protect the blade when not in use. The Shun Blue Menkiri is part of the Shun Blue series. The series includes traditional Japanese blade shapes that are essential for preparing proteins, as well as a selection of all-purpose tools every kitchen needs. These knives feature a carbon steel cutting core for a razor-sharp edge and quick re-sharpening. For easier care, the "blue" carbon steel core is sandwiched between two layers of mirror-polished stainless steel. Because Shun Blue uses a carbon steel core, we recommend using camellia oil to avoid rust and oxidation of the cutting edge. The beautiful grey PakkaWood handles are a variation on a traditional Japanese design for a secure and comfortable grip.
Designed to meet the demands of the professional chef, the Shun Blue line makes this selection of classic Japanese culinary knives available to professionals and avid home cooks alike.
