Harukaze G3 Nakiri 165mm. Harukaze means "windy spring" in Japanese. These Harukaze knives have been made for CKTG exclusively from a medium-sized factory in Tosa, Japan. This is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high quality knife at a reasonable price. It starts with a core steel (G3) with an HRC of 62, then add a stainless steel cladding with a nashiji (pear skin) finish to protect and beautify the blade. It is then finished off with a lovely oval magnolia wood handle with a pakka wood ferrule. As a bonus, it has a nice kanji engraving on both sides of the blade.

Cool NakiriPosted By: Mike

Great knife for the price. It came super sharp out of the box, maybe the sharpest yet but does wedge a tiny bit in carrots. Looks amazing too. The fit and finish on the handle is nice but the light colored wood could use a light sanding with some super fine sand paper and a coat of tung or Daish oil.

The steel is surprisingly nice. Holds an edge for a long time and is very easy to sharpen for a more stainless steel. However the profile of this is unbearable for me. I like nikiris to have a flat profile, but this has too much of a curve for the chopping you want to be doing with a nikiri.
Came extremely sharp with the sharpening service though.
