CMF Knifeworks - Nakiri (One Off Chefs Knife)

For sale is a truly one-of-a-kind Nakiri-style chef’s knife crafted by Ian Pickarski of CMF Metalworks.
This exceptional piece features a Damasteel blade with a beautifully executed mirror-etched finish. Built with full-tang construction, it is fitted with stunning Mother of Pearl scales, set over a white liner and secured with hidden pins—a clean, elegant touch that highlights Ian’s precision craftsmanship.
I have used this knife only once. It is exceptionally sharp and far exceeds my own culinary skill level, making it an ideal acquisition for a serious collector or professional chef who can truly appreciate its performance and artistry.
The knife was purchased new, directly from Ian, and I am offering it at his original table price. It remains in mint condition.

* The Nakiri is a double bevel edged knife with thin blade profile. It is mainly used for quickly and efficiently chopping, slicing, and mincing vegetables, fruits. Like the Santoku, the Nakiri generally has a slightly taller blade than a similarly sized Gyuto, this provides a little more clearance for the knuckles of your knife hand when cutting directly above a cutting board and provides a good blade surface for the knuckles of your free hand to guide the blade.
