Because of the thinness, these blades should not be used for cutting through any type of bone or harder objects but you would be surprised at the versatility of the Nakiri. We find we use ours for a wide array of tasks in the kitchen - everything from protein prep to bread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade height is just over 2 inches which is larger than many other Nakiri's but we find it helps keep your knuckles off the board and it works well with many larger vegetables.  Please know that the larger blade height does make this a slightly hefty knife, as does the G10 handle which is dense by nature so this knife will have a good amount of weight to it.  Some like a heavier knife, others prefer to keep it light.  We just like to provide all of this info up front so you know exactly what you will be getting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHANDLE DESIGN \u0026amp; MATERIALS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery one of our knives is handmade, unique and numbered.  This NORA has a base of beautiful cocobolo wood and is accented with three colors of G10 including red, black and blue.  The liners are doubled up, black and red, and meant to compliment the overall design.  Its a simple, clean look and we like the small pop of color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eENGRAVING:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThis knife falls into a small batch we made that we dubbed our \"fortune cookie\" batch.  All of the engravings in this batch are located on the spine of the knives and all have some form of text.  The text isn't necessarily a fortune, but rather a line, quote or saying that resonates with us for whatever reason.  The hope is that maybe the saying or text will ring true with whomever adopts this knife.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis knife's \"fortune\" reads: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0000ff;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"All you have to do is write one true sentence.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was a quote from Ernest Hemingway who is famously known for keeping his work clear, concise and genuine.  Although probably meant in terms of writing, I have always loved this quote as a metaphor for life.
