DESCRIPTION
Sword making history in Japan dates back over 1,000 years, when master swordsmiths practiced their craft making weapons for warriors. Modern Japanese kitchen knives are a descendant of these renowned swords, as evidenced in the details, ideals, and spirit that have been passed down through generations that go into each tool. This particular knife has a nakiri shape. Nakiri shaped knives are rectangular and have a squared end, and thus a flatter cutting edge than a tradtional western chef's knife. Therefore, this knife excels at tasks that require a single downward cut rather than a rocking motion, making it an excellent choice for prep work such as slicing and dicing. The use of carbon steel ensures that the knife holds a very sharp edge, while the outer sandwich of stainless steel prevents rust and damage. The black oxide finish of this knife further helps to prevent damage, while giving it a rustic appearance.
