Here we have a restoration carbon steel San Mai Nakiri with a nashiji finish. Fitted with a new oak handle with some beautiful wood grains. Its been polished up and finished with beeswax and orange oil to seal and treat the wood. The blade is a 50/50 bevel and it's been thinned out and sharpened on a whetstone from 1000-3000 then finished on a leather strop.
This knife needs to be treated with love and care and should never be washed in a dishwasher or left in a sink.
After use wipe this knife clean with a soapy rag and hot water and then thoroughly dry it. If this knife is going to be hanging around for a long time in between uses, I would suggest putting some mineral oil on it for something to protect the vintage steel and natural wood handle.
