Please note: The cladding steel finish on this knife is different from the other knives in the White #2 range and has a kurouchi finish instead of the polished finish on the other knives in this range. A kurouchi finish a traditional finish created simply by leaving the furnace scale created during the forging process on the blade instead of polishing it off.
It also has a different handle with a plastic ferrule. This is because traditionally within a Japanese household the nakiri was the knife that was used the most to cut the veggies and do a lot of the main tasks. In order to make this affordable to all families the handle is cheaper to bring the cost down.
