Harukaze G3 Nashiji Kiritsuke 210mmn. 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.

I've had this knife for quite a few months now and it's been really nice to use. I've used it for everything from veg prep to slicing raw and cooked proteins and it glides through everything! Nice sharp edge out of the box. Haven't had to hit it on my stones yet!!!

I love this knife! I've only had it for a few weeks but I love how it performs. Definitely takes a minute to adjust to the style if you're not used to the flat blade, or if you haven't used a Japanese blade before, but once I got it under my hand, I'm really happy. My only issue is the really light handle, which makes it fairly blade heavy, but I'm planning on rehandling at some point anyway, so that will be short-lived. I highly recommend this knife. CK2G service was great.
