Pure Carbon Steel Precision

Shirogami #1 is one of the purest carbon steels in Japanese knife-making, capable of achieving a razor-fine edge that glides through vegetables with zero resistance. The flat blade profile of the nakiri is designed for the push-cut technique - keeping the full edge in contact with the board for clean, consistent slices every time. The nashiji (pear skin) finish reduces food drag and develops a natural patina with use.

Care and Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after washing to prevent rust (carbon steel)
• Hone regularly with a ceramic or leather strop
• Sharpen on a whetstone when needed - professional sharpening recommended for best results
• Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block - avoid loose drawers
• Apply a light coat of camellia oil if storing long-term
