Heritage & Use

With no maker identified, this knife's workshop and production date remain unknown. Its recorded 370mm blade distinguishes it from a conventional household nakiri and provides an extended cutting edge for substantial produce. The nakiri profile suits vegetable preparation, while the exceptional length calls for sufficient board space and careful handling. Stainless steel offers more forgiving maintenance than carbon steel, but still needs prompt washing and drying.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only; never use a dishwasher
• Dry immediately after use and avoid soaking the wood handle
• Confirm the existing edge geometry before selecting a honing method
• Sharpen on suitable water stones following the existing bevel, or consult a specialist
• Store securely with the edge protected in a sheath or knife roll suited to its length
