This is a great entry level Nakiri for cooks and chefs alike – the White (Shirogami) #2 steel used holds a fabulous edge and once you have used it, there’ll be no going back - and I just love that rustic kurouchi finish on the blade. Poplar handle and plastic ferrule, right handed D-shape.

As always, care is needed with high carbon steel blades to ensure they don't rust - wipe clean and dry and don't forget that a little knife oil will help protect the blade in storage.
