Specifications
The Hatsukokoro x Yoshikane SKD nashiji nakiri 165mm is a Japanese vegetable knife hand-forged in Sanjo by Yoshikane Hamono, one of Sanjo's most respected makers known for consistent grinds and reliable heat treats. This nakiri features an SKD semi-stainless steel core with stainless cladding and a nashiji finish. SKD is a semi-stainless steel that offers excellent edge retention and is significantly more rust-resistant than carbon steel. It can still develop a patina over time but at a much slower rate than carbon steel, making it a low-maintenance option for those not ready to commit to full carbon
At 205g for a 169mm blade, it has satisfying heft and presence in hand. The 52.7mm blade height provides good knuckle clearance and a comfortable push-cut motion through vegetables. Fitted with an octagonal mono ebony handle. An excellent nakiri for those looking for a significant upgrade, and a worthy addition for enthusiasts already familiar with Yoshikane's work.
Overall length: 360mm Blade length - heel to tip: 169mm Blade height at heel: 52.7mm Spine thickness: at the handle: 3.8mm at the heel: 3.2mm midway: 2.0mm 1cm from the tip: 1.7mm Weight: 205g Edge/bevel: 50:50 Handle: octagonal mono ebony handle Hand orientation: ambidextrous Saya/ sheath: none
Notes: a. For the care and maintenance of Yoshikane chef knives, please refer to our care guide below. b. Slight measurement variations are common in Japanese kitchen knives. c. Small surface finish variations in knives are a normal part of the handcrafting process.
