The Nakiri Blue steel #2 Kurouchi Damascus Buffalo Ebony Handle 165mm has style and substance. This knife has an elegant damascus design with a comfortable handle. Perfect for precise cutting and chopping of vegetables, it's a reliable, beautiful addition to your kitchen!

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.

Damascus is a laminated steel knife made of several layers of different steel materials. The center of the blade is made of hard steel for sharpness, and both sides are covered with multiple soft steel materials. The multiple steels are metallurgically joined, not by plating or glue. The more the blade is forged, the more complex the ripples become, and the more beautiful the unique grain pattern becomes.

Gift Extraordinaire

Purchased this product as a gift for my son and he was thrilled with the quality & craftsmanship of the knife. The knife is an exceptional tool added to a creative kitchen. The handle turned out to be much darker than the website showed but is still quite impressive.

I have made a little mistake in my order. So I’ve sent a e-email to customer-service, the mail was responded immediately and the order was adapted correctly and the products were shipped very fast afterwards. It is my fitst Chinese cleaver, it was almost razor sharp, and it cuts well. I’m still improving my knive skills

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.
