Kurosaki Gekko Nakiri,

This Japanese vegetable knife has a core of Japanese VG-XEOS Semi-stainless steel. This new steel was developed by Takefu as a counterpart to the well-known HAP40 steel. This steel is considered one of the best steel types for kitchen knives. This double-sided sharpened knife is Sanmai forged with a stainless steel protective layer. VG-XEOS steel is one of the hardest types of steel and is therefore more sensitive to chipping and damage. This knife is completely hand-forged by master blacksmith Yu Kurosaki and is unique in its kind. The blade is very thin and manually sharpened and has no thickenings, making sharpening very easy.

  • Blade length: 165 mm
  • Total length: 310 mm
  • Weight: 180 grams
  • Thickness: 2.0mm
  • Steel type: core steel: Japanese VG-XEOS steel (semi-rust resistant) with 2 layers of stainless steel.
  • Hardness: 65 (Rockwell C)
  • Handle: octagonal Japanese oak (12.5 cm length, and diameter of 20 x 26 mm)

Like all Japanese knives, Kurosaki's handmade knives are not dishwasher safe, cleaning and drying after each use is the best treatment for these exclusive products.
