Hand-forged by Yoshikane Hamono in Sanjo, Japan for Hatsukokoro, this 165mm nakiri has an SKD core at ~64 HRC with stainless cladding and a nashiji finish. Nakiri are purpose-built for vegetables. SKD is a semi-stainless steel. It can develop a light patina over time but at a much slower rate than carbon steel, making it a practical middle ground for cooks not ready to commit to full carbon.

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.
