Nakiri Japanese kitchen knife Kajibe Shirogami KJB-007 16.5cm

The Japanese Kajibe nakiri knife is designed for chopping vegetables and other foods. The handle is made of walnut wood. The blade is crafted from three layers of steel with a core of Shirogami No. 2 steel and soft iron facings. Kajibe knives are hand-forged by master blacksmith Kunio Ishikawa and his son in the Japanese city of Sanjo. Please note that Japanese kitchen knives have a very hard but thin cutting edge. These knives should not be used for cutting hard foods. The nakiri is not a kitchen cleaver and should only be used for soft foods. Since both the core and facings are made of steels that are not corrosion-resistant, please hand-wash the knife immediately after use and wipe dry.
