A super nakiri with a relatively flat profile, its traditional construction also adds a little extra weight which really helps this knife power through vegetables with ease.
The grind down to the white #1 steel core and classic kurouchi finish combine nicely to create a subtle but classic knife that will age beautifully as it develops a full patina with use.
