Completely hand-forged by third-generation master blacksmith Kosuke Muneishi in Echizen, Japan, this Nakiri is a one-of-a-kind kitchen tool. The Aogami #2 carbon steel core delivers exceptional sharpness and edge retention at 63-64 HRC, while the two outer layers of stainless steel protect the blade and simplify maintenance. The Kurouchi finish - the blacksmith's hammer-forged black scale - is left intact, giving the blade a rustic, artisan character while providing natural rust resistance. Muneishi-hamono has been forging blades since 1955, and every step - tempering, forging, hammering, and sharpening - is carried out by Kosuke-san himself. No two knives are identical.
