Hatsukokoro Aokitae Blue #2 Kurouchi Bunka 200mm Handle material:Ebony A classy and visually striking

A classy and visually striking handle with a weighty feel in hand thanks to the combination of ebony wood

every one has a slightly different finish and is unique in the mottled pattern and how the exposed layers of steel taper down to the high polish cutting edge

this is one is more akin to a large and very tall general use knife as it's much thinner and harder at treated to around 60HRC

Please note that this is a new version of the knife and that Nigara Hamono no longer put their name or logo on the blade itself on their higher end knives as they now prefer the pattern of these knives to be completely uninterrupted by any markings

if you're looking to step up your veg prep and want a nakiri to do it then this is definitely one to add to your collection
