Noa (Olive Handle)

  Noa is an acronym for Noroeste Argentino, or Argentine Northwest, where a lot of the country's produce comes from. It is our version of the Japanese Nakiri. Noa prefers a plant-based diet and is designed precisely for slicing, dicing, and mincing fruits and veggies.  Blade: The blade is made of 420HC MOV Stainless Steel, which is a popular choice in the knife-making world due to its balance of hardness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention, making it versatile and easy to maintain. The blade has a carbon content of ~0.40% and a Rockwell Hardness (HRC) of ~55. Handle: This model features an olive wood handle known for its unique, irregular grain patterns, and its rich coloring, making it one of our favorites. Other available handles include Purple Heart and Guayubira. Tang: Hidden Length (Blade/Full Knife): 7in / 13in Thickness: 0.1in  Case: Heavy Duck Canvas
