Hand-forged by Tadafusa Hamono in Sanjo, Japan for the Ohishi brand, this 165mm nakiri has a shirogami#2 core at ~62 HRC with soft iron damascus cladding. Nakiri are purpose-built for vegetables. The whole blade gains character as it patinas over time. Shirogami takes a keen edge and sharpens easily on stones.

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.
