The Shigefusa kurouchi nakiri is a straightforward vegetable knife designed for clean push cuts and efficient chopping. It uses a Swedish carbon steel core with iron cladding in a warikomi construction. The blade has a kurouchi finish that helps reduce reactivity and gives the surface a natural forged appearance. The spine is thick near the handle and tapers toward the tip, which provides stability and solid feel during cutting. The geometry is consistent along the length of the blade, and the 50:50 edge makes it suitable for a wide range of daily prep tasks. The knife is fitted with a D-shaped magnolia handle and a buffalo horn ferrule.
