Specifications
Hand-forged by Shuji Toyama, 87-year-old master blacksmith from Sanjo, Japan, this 210mm nakiri has an Aogami #2 core with stainless cladding and a migaki finish. Nakiri are purpose-built for vegetables. At 210mm, it is on the larger end for a nakiri, with extra surface area and good heft. The convex grind and Toyama's well-regarded heat treat of Aogami #2 deliver excellent edge retention and easy sharpening. More blade, more surface area -- for cooks who want a nakiri with presence.

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.
