Nuz No. 5 Knife - The Gourmet

The Nuz No. 5 Knife is the culinary enthusiast’s knife of choice. Featuring a traditional Santoku design, it offers a step up from the Daily Knife with enhanced precision, control and versatility for those who love to create in the kitchen. Handcrafted in Waiuku, New Zealand, Nuz combines over 40 years of knife-making expertise with carefully considered materials. The blade is made from Swedish carbon steel produced from recycled saw blades, paired with an American Ash wood handle sourced from an FSC-certified supplier and finished with three brass rivets for a timeless, simple design.

Size: Total knife length - 30.5cm, blade length - 18.5cm, blade width - 4.8cm 

Material: Swedish carbon steel blade, produced from recycled saw blades, with an FSC certified American Ash wood handle

Care: Please note that carbon steel blades require a little extra care to maintain their performance and keep them in top condition.

• Always hand wash your knife with warm, soapy water and dry it immediately after use. Avoid placing it in the dishwasher or leaving it damp for extended periods.
• Store your knife in a wooden knife block or on a magnetic rack to protect the blade.
• If surface rust appears, gently remove it using a scouring pad.
• Occasionally apply a small amount of Camellia Oil to the blade to create a protective layer and help prevent rust. Olive, vegetable, or mineral oils can also be used.

For sharpening, a whetstone is recommended over a steel. A steel is designed to realign the edge of a blade, whereas a whetstone provides a more precise sharpening to maintain the knife’s performance.
