Masamoto KA Nakiri Vegetable Knife

Forged from premium Blue Steel No.2 and heat-treated to HRC 62-63, this santoku delivers exceptional sharpness and edge retention that enhances flavor by preserving food texture. The traditional kurouchi finish gives the blade a rugged, rustic appearance that gains character with use and provides slight resistance to rust. The blade's double-bevel design handles meat, fish, and vegetables with equal skill, making it one of the most essential knives in Japanese kitchens. The lightweight D-shaped magnolia handle with water buffalo horn ferrule offers a secure, comfortable grip for extended prep work.
