Modern Metallurgy for Fine Dining
Developed for professional kitchens: The Artis Nakiri was custom-tailored to meet the demanding requirements of Graz-based chef Philipp Dyczek, who wields this blade at the Michelin-starred restaurant Artis. The result: A compact and secure knife that delivers absolute peak performance, even in tight, high-stress kitchen environments.
Technical Specifications & Design
- Lightweight, Compact & Secure Profile: The rounded tip supports a fast, precise workflow in confined spaces while minimizing the risk of injury during high-speed prep work.
- ApexUltra Monosteel (66 HRC): Crafted from pure ApexUltra steel, brought to 66 HRC through a strictly controlled hardening and tempering process. The extremely fine carbide structure ensures maximum edge retention and exceptional resilience against chipping.
- Dynamic Geometry: The 2.5 mm spine provides ideal momentum, while the laser-thin ground edge guarantees precise and clean cuts. This protects the cellular structure of your ingredients from tearing and significantly reduces oxidation.
- Excellent Food Release: A deeply etched step along the lower section of the blade reduces friction and minimizes the sticking of sliced food. The design is completely symmetrical, making it perfectly suited for both left- and right-handed chefs.
- Intuitive Handle: Featuring a subtle "twist," the handle departs from traditional octagonal geometries and is optimized towards the front for a pinch grip. The hand instinctively senses the alignment of the blade.
