Thank you for viewing. This is a forged, hammered-finish nakiri knife. The blade is made of high-carbon stainless steel, also used in custom knives. Craftsmen forge each blade individually to enhance its performance, leaving the hammered finish as proof of this process. It has been hand-sharpened with a genuine edge, and finished with a costly clamshell blade. This enhances durability, sharpness, and the ease with which food separates from the blade, making it an exceptional piece. The handle is made of round, high-quality ebony wood, making it easy to grip and beautifully finished with care. The number of joints has been minimized to prevent dirt from accumulating. The decorative metal accents add a touch of elegance. Nakiri knives of this quality are rare, but we are pleased to offer this exceptionally well-finished one. Free shipping. Please consider it.
