Nakiri Blue steel #2 Kurouchi Buffalo Ebony Handle 165mm

Regular price¥36,800
/

This Nakiri knife is a must-have for any keen home cook. Featuring a high-quality blue steel #2 blade, and an ergonomic ebony handle, it is perfectly balanced for precision cutting. Its 165mm length is ideal for cutting vegetables and other small ingredients.

Mainly used for vegetables with a flat, rectangular blade, a flat tip and a thicker spine. Best for cutting Napa and cabbage into strips. Also suitable for peeling, chopping, rotary cutting, shaving, and making garnish.

Aogami No.2 (Hitachi Metals Ltd.) is made by adding Chromium and Tungsten / Wolfram to Shirogami No.2. This results in increased toughness and the production of hard carbide molecules which improve edge retention. Many knife users have noted that while Aogami No.2 is very similar to Shirogami No.2 in terms of edge sharpness, it has slightly superior edge retention.

Kurouchi Finish, the unprocessed (black) part on the top side of the blade has already developed a dark patina, which protects the blade and gives it a traditional Japanese look.

The Dream Nakiri Knife

During my trip to Japan, one of the purchases I wanted to make was a Nakiri knife. After a lot of research beforehand on what steel to get and different knife manufacturers, I went into Musashi and fell in love with their Nakiri knife. I really liked the weight of the knife and the fact that it was blue carbon steel. Bringing it home, I have never had a knife cut through tough veggies so easily. I cannot recommend this knife enough!

The first time to use a knife designed for cutting vegetables.
Feels very special, especially when chopping fingers do not touch the board.
This design is very friendly to me.

Product Features

Handmade Forging

With the traditional forging process, the molecules of the iron material are finely tuned, leading to the completion of a "living kitchen knife" that breathes.

Durability

The process of heating and forging each material for mold making is repeated three or four times to quickly shape the blade and create durability before the carbon is released from the steel causing it to lose its original strength.

Sharpness

The blade is the most important factor in achieving the best possible sharpness. It is polished in our own blade factory to produce uncompromising sharpness.

Handle

The highest priority is placed on sturdiness, a sense of luxury, and a shape that is easy to grip and does not cause fatigue even after long hours of use.
