DESCRIPTION

Gingami 3 is categorized to stainless steel for its 13-14.5% Chromium blending ratio. Although it’s a corrosion-resistant stainless steel, actual feel of cutting is closer to the high-end carbon steel, The edge is not slippy but significantly grabbing object fibers.

Another reason why professional chef selects Gingami 3 is a good affinity to whetstones at hand re-sharpening. The combination with the soft stainless SUS405 outer layer provides further easiness to the blade sharpening. Neo-Classic Nashiji finish gives irresistible appeal to the series as well. The combination with the soft stainless SUS405 outer layer provides further easiness to the blade sharpening.The Japanese term “Nashiji” (English: Pear skin pattern) refers to the result of a technique that appears to leave the surface finish of a blade looking unfinished and rustic.

The handles on these knives are Octagonal Oak wood dye Japanese Lacquer (Urushi) that recalls the images of Japanese tradition.

The coating film of Urushi exudes a warm sense of intimacy when in contact with the skin that can almost be likened to the touch of an infant’s skin. With antibacterial and disinfectant properties, it is also provides an exceptional sense of security. urushi is a totally natural lacquer, and with use develops a distinct, deeply refined luster and texture which cannot be reproduced with chemically developed coating materials. This naturally fosters strong feelings of attachment and deference.

Extremely Disappointing

I was excited to buy the Nakiri and start cutting vegetables with it, its shape open new cutting technics and it is suppose to be a great knife for vegetables, however, coming home and testing it was extremely disappointing !! it feels like it wasn't sharpened well at all, could not tell the difference between this knife and the one (which isnt Japanese and is not a prestige knife) i had before. For example, cutting a tomato required effort and wasnt smooth cutting !
Very disappointing...

Might be that i bought the correct knife in the wrong place

Great place to get a professional knife

Customer service was fantastic and very friendly, was super pleased to find i was able to test the knifes and have knowledgeable employees tell me everything I needed to know about each knife I looked at

Love my new knife

Great staff

I don't know a great deal about kitchen knives, so I had a lot of questions for Isabell (not sure of spelling!), who was extremely patient and helpful. The knife is beautiful, works great and I'm very happy with it. Thank you!

Beautiful knife

I walked in and thought wow ,what beautiful knives . Must have one so i bought two

Nakiri Silver Steel #3 Nashiji Olive Handle 165mm

We visited the store initially planned to purchase a bread knife. The store staff, Anna, explained bread knife wasn't a common item in Japan. We ended up purchasing the Nakiri Silver Steel #3, have been using it for a few days, love the handle and the feel. Anna was not pushy. She explained the differences between different models as well as pros and cons of each model, then gave us time and space to pick our choice. As we didn't shop around, not certain if price was competitive. The store also offers tax refund to tourists. Overall, purchase experience was wonderful.

Awesome shop, awesome knives, awesome staff!

Wonderful shop with an amazing knife selection, but the best part of my experience was the staff assisting me. Vallentin (I’m very sure I’ve butchered the spelling here) and the very beautiful girl with the awesome nails and long black hair (I’m so sorry I forgot your name). They were both incredibly helpful and fun; Vallentin even made me adjust the positioning at all knives for the FREE laser engraving and made sure that my name in katakana was spelled correctly! I ended up buying 3 knives in 3 days and I definitely wouldn’t have done that if it wasn’t for the staff. Thank you all so much, that was literally one of the highlights of my first trip to Japan! I wish we had taken a picture together ᴖ̈
I hope I’ll get to see you again on my second trip! Lots of love, Dimo Bear.
