Nakiri 165mm Yoshimitsu Blue #2 - polish finished, Urushi handle transparent - black
The classic vegetable knife of Japanese cuisine with a double-sided grind.
This hand forged nakiri from the Yoshimitsu forge has a classic three-ply, double-edged blade construction with a polished blade finish. The blade's core steel of Blue #2 steel from Hitachi is brought to a Rockwell grade of 61-62 HRC.
The stainless sheath steel protects the Blue #2 core steel and makes this knife more resistant to corrosion at the blade edge (but not at the cutting edge!). A bead blasting process (similar to sandblasting) creates the clean finish on the cutting edges of these blades.
Nakiris are excellent for processing vegetables and are also mainly used for this purpose in Japan. This Nakiri is ground on both sides and therefore also suitable for left-handers. The knife has its center of gravity in the direction of the blade, so you need less force when cutting than with handle-heavy knives. The blade is only about 1.8mm thick, yet this Nakiri can be guided very precisely and appears very stable and robust. You immediately feel the agility when cutting - rough, but also very precise cuts go easily from the hand. The Blue #2 steel stays sharp for a very long time compared to other steels and is very high in terms of cutting performance.
The five Yoshimitsu brothers forge excellent blades and have been mastering their craft for several decades. The forge has been in existence since 1852 and is still family-owned.
