About the Masutani Kokuryu Nashiji

Nashiji - meaning "pear skin" in Japanese - refers to the fine, matte-textured finish on the blade that mimics the surface of a Japanese pear. It's both beautiful and functional, reducing food adhesion and hiding minor scratches over time. VG1 is a clean, reliable stainless steel that takes a sharp edge and holds it well, making it an excellent everyday performer. The Wa-style oak handle keeps the knife light and well-balanced, with a traditional Japanese aesthetic. Made in Echizen, Japan's historic blade-making region.
