Nakamura Hamono Kaishin Blue #2 Kurouchi Gyuto 210mm hatsukokoro this is an essential addition

this is an essential addition to any kitchen and will become one of your most used knives

This knife is made in a unique hand forged coreless damascus combining 250 layers of blue and white #2 steel and paired with a beautiful karin wood handle finished with white buffalo horn and nickel silver rings this is without question

This means the knife is reactive and will produce a lovely patina over time

The cutting edge though will take on a patina (rust coloured patterning) as it is carbon steel but we like that

This nakiri is made in a less common "Higashigata" shape which feautures a more rounded profile and shorter at the heel and typically taller at the tip end of the knife

Nakamura Hamono Kaishin Blue #2 Kurouchi Gyuto 210mm hatsukokoro this is an essential additionA fantastic value all rounder for those who prefer a more aggressive distal taper to aid food release and a heavier but still nimble feel in hand.
