Moritaka Supreme Nakiri, 165mm (6.5"), Aogami/Blue Super Carbon Steel

A superb and razor-sharp carbon steel nakiri (vegetable knife), hand-made in the Moritaka family workshop in Japan.

Blade is made of Aogami/Blue Super carbon steel, with a permanent seasoned rosewood handle and a stainless steel tang. These blades should take a super sharp edge and the added toughness of the Blue Super steel should help with edge strength and resistance. The rosewood handle should be MUCH longer-lasting than the softer and lighter magnolia wood usually seen on traditional Japanese knives, and the stainless steel tang inside the handle means that any moisture will not result in premature pitting or damage to the handle. The finish is kuro-uchi (black) with a lacquer coating -- this helps protect the steel and should not be polished off.

Edge is 50/50 bevel, so it is fine for left or right-handed use, and is easily sharpened with any stone or hone or gadget suitable for Japanese knives. For regular everyday maintenance I suggest a fine ceramic hone (see below).

I really love these knives -- I'm sure you'll be thrilled and amazed by the quality, good looks, and high performance of these carbon steel blades!

Comes packed in a nice cobalt-blue gift box.
