Gyuto 180 for the serious home cook
Nashiji is a traditional knife finish, inspired by the Japanese pear skin. Each knife is hand forged and hammered using an old technique to achieve this look. Every knife is different, as it is impossible to make an identical pattern.
The core steel is blue paper steel (Aogami #2). This refers to the old system of classifying steel in Japan, not the color of the steel. It is similar to the older white paper steel (Shirogami) with the additions of tungsten and chromium. This results in harder steel, better edge retention, and smaller brittleness.
The outside layers are also traditional high carbon steel. Only hand wash and oil the knife using kitchen oil to keep it for decades to come!
The handles are made of natural walnut wood. Seamless handling in various positions makes this knife a great fit for any hand.
The knives are forged, sharpened, tested individually before being packed.
