An In Depth Look

Blade Type

The Nakiri is the traditional Japanese style Vegetable knife. Its flat cutting edge means it is perfect for push cutting herbs and vegetables, maximising contact with the cutting board.

Steel Type Read

Spicy White is a High-Carbon Steel, hardened to 64HRC by Leszek. It has great edge retention and toughness, and has been etched for corrosion resistance.

Care Information Read

Hand wash only, never put in a dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing. Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a saya. Sharpen on a whetstone when the blade dulls. Read our full maintenance guide for more information.

Leszek Sikoń

Originally from Poland, I came to the UK 14 years ago. I earnt a decent living as a middle manager in the retail yet this career left me feeling wholly unfulfilled. I knew that I wanted to create something that would last. I was used to getting dirty and working with my hands – so I was thrilled to learn that Hereford College of Arts ran a blacksmithing course. The next thing I knew, I’d quit my job and started training.

Since then I produced a series of superb artisan tools and knives, using age-old skills to produce modern objects of desire. My inspiration comes from the history and the traditional methods, getting to grips with hammer, tongs, and fire. For having these skills has paid off more than a career in retail ever would.
