Nakiri are purpose-built for vegetables. The convex grind, combined with Toyama's well-regarded heat treat of Aogami #2, makes this an excellent cutter with excellent edge retention that sharpens easily on stones. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-forged in Sanjo, Japan by Shuji Toyama (b. 1939)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e182mm (7.2\") cutting edge, 59.2mm heel height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAogami #2 core (~64 HRC) with stainless cladding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMigaki finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBurnt chestnut handle with plastic ferrule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor left- and right-handed users\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA specialized Japanese knife for enthusiasts who appreciate the Toyama cutting performance and well-regarded heat treat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA small unfinished portion of the tang is visible at the handle junction.
