The blade has a kasumi finish, which polishes the cladding to a soft, hazy surface that contrasts with the harder steel at the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNakiri is a traditional Japanese knife with a straight, flat edge and a squared-off tip. With no curve to rock on, the whole edge meets the board at once, so it cuts through in a straight push or pull chop and leaves no uncut layer at the bottom of the cut. The tall, rectangular blade also gives knuckle clearance and a wide face for moving cut food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eShirogami #2 is a low-impurity carbon steel that sharpens easily and takes a fine edge. It is reactive, so it develops a patina with use and should be wiped dry after cutting to prevent rust. The handle is a traditional wa style in D-shaped white magnolia with a buffalo horn ferrule. Gokujyo is the name of the line and translates roughly as \"finest.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sakai Kikumori","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67571116409124,"sku":"AKK3316","price":279.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/3242\/3460\/files\/sak_01.jpg?v=1791506540","url":"https:\/\/hinokikitchencraft.com\/products\/sakai-kikumori-gokujyo-nakiri-165mm","provider":"Hinoki Kitchen Craft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
