Crafted by Makoto Kurosaki — trained under the legendary Hiroshi Kato in Takefu — this nakiri features a stainless Damascus cladding over a VG7 core, hardened to 61 HRC for an edge that sharpens easily and holds its bite through daily use.
Like his brother Yu Kurosaki, Makoto trained under Hiroshi Kato in Takefu. He works with local blacksmiths to source blades, then applies his own expert sharpening and finishing — making each knife a true collaboration between Japan's finest craftsmen.
Use & Care
Hand wash with warm water and towel dry immediately.
Do not use a dishwasher.
Sharpen with a whetstone to maintain the edge.
Do not cut frozen foods, bones, or hard produce — the blade may chip.
