Description:
This 170mm Nakiri showcases a clean kurouchi finish with a touch of hand-applied restoration, bringing out the full beauty of the traditional forge scale. Forged in Japan with Yasuki Hagane carbon steel, prized for its cutting performance and ease of sharpening, this blade delivers precision vegetable prep with timeless craftsmanship.
Balanced with a lightweight wa-style handle and a versatile 50/50 edge, it glides through vegetables with ease and comfort, making it perfect for professional kitchens and serious home cooks alike.
Subtle refinishing highlights the kasumi (misty) transition between the cladding and hard core steel, offering both durability and aesthetic appeal.
