I’ve pondered long and hard about this purchase. I’m a keen home cook with no aspirations to go ‘above and beyond’ this level, but I do love to use beautiful implements, and am prepared to invest in craftsmanship.
My Henkel knives are perfectly adept at their job….but there’s no ‘soul’. When my Katto arrived, so did the soul.
The construction is superb; every detail has been looked after. The balance and weight are exactly as I’d hoped for, and the marking on the blade is truly unique.
I’d looked at a number of knives for this purchase, and I’m sure the alternatives would have been fabulous, but the Katto nakiri I bought exceeded my expectations.
So much so, am currently eyeing up a pizza cutter, a Santoku and a utility knife…..Mrs B is NOT happy….but I am.
