This 155mm Nakiri was hand forged in Japan. It has a core of Aogami Super Blue steel, folded in between stainless steel, with a hammered finish. It has a hardness rating of 62-63 HRC, and is corrosion resistant, and easy to maintain. With use, the the edge and core steel will develop a dark grey patina, contrasting the kasumi (fog/mist) finish, where it meets the stainless outer steel, adding to the beauty!
This blade is fitted with a handle crafted from rare Koa wood. It is a hybrid handle shape I like to use, that is rounded at the top where it meets the hand, with a moderate taper, making it very comfortable to grip. The bottom of the handle is slightly flattened, with an edge at each side that fits the creases between knuckles, providing control, and stability while chopping.
