Kurosaki Shizuku R2 - Nakiri 165mm

$279.95
$279.95

The Nakiri is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife for home cooking. It is short and easy to handle. The width of the blade allows you to scoop diced food from the chopping board and transfer it into the pan. Less known in western countries, the Nakiri is as terrific performer and a pleasure to use, not to mention safer than most with a straight square tip. Please note: Like all Japanese knives, the Nakiri is thin and should never be used as a meat cleaver to cut through bone. 

Handmade, this Kurosaki Shizuku is forged from very hard R2 powder steel with a textured, highly polished finish. As with most Masakage knives, the heel of the blade is rounded to allow a comfortable use of the pinch grip.

Its octagonal handle is made of massive rosewood and black water buffalo horn.

The line has been named after its young master blacksmith Yu Kurosaki, who works in Takefu Village.
