About Kotobuki Kagetsuna Nakiri Japanese Kitchen Knife
Sword making history in Japan dates back over 1,000 years, when master swordsmiths practiced their craft making weapons for warriors. Modern Japanese kitchen knives are a descendant of these renowned swords, as evidenced in the details, ideals, and spirit that have been passed down through generations that go into each tool. This particular knife has a nakiri shape. Nakiri shaped knives are rectangular and have a squared end, and thus a flatter cutting edge than a tradtional western chef's knife. Therefore, this knife excels at tasks that require a single downward cut rather than a rocking motion, making it an excellent choice for prep work such as slicing and dicing. The use of carbon steel ensures that the knife holds a very sharp edge, while the outer sandwich of stainless steel prevents rust and damage.
