The Ohishi kurouchi Aogami#1 bunka 170mm is a versatile Japanese knife perfect for a variety of tasks in the kitchen. This Japanese knife is ideal for slicing, dicing, and chopping meat (except with bones!), fish, and vegetables. The traditional and rustic appeal of the kurouchi finish adds to the knife's unique aesthetic. The Aogami#1 core steel ensures excellent edge retention, making it a reliable choice for all your kitchen needs. Despite its exceptional quality, this knife is affordable and accessible to home cooks and professionals alike. And with its thin cross-sectional geometry, this knife delivers impressive cutting performance.

❖ Ohishi (along with Akifusa, both established in 2003) is a Japanese knife brand owned by Nakaya Co., Ltd., a company that has been producing high-quality cutting tools and blade machines since 1907. Originally founded in Hokkaido, the company relocated to Sanjo in 1961, where its current head office is situated.

Akifusa and Ohishi offer a meticulously crafted selection of knives, developed through years of experience and in collaboration with renowned blacksmiths in Japan. Their knives are celebrated for their exceptional quality, aesthetic appeal, and long-lasting durability.
