The Kikuichi knife company has been producing high quality kitchen knives for the professional market for over 100 years. In fact the original company dates back 700 years. Kikuichi was originally a manufacturer of Samurai swords that bore the Emperor's Chrysanthemum symbol as a mark of their excellence.
We have recently added a new line of high-quality Swedish Warikomi Damascus cutlery to the Kikuichi range. As the name suggests, they are fashioned from the Swedish steel known as AEB-L. This fine steel was originally developed for the razor blade industry, as it has the ability to take a very fine edge. The alloy also boasts high corrosion resistance with medium-range wear resistance. An added bonus is that it is very easy to sharpen. The inner core of AEB-L is clad with a total of 45 layers of a damascus stainless steel. This not only adds to the beauty of the knife but it also makes maintenance so much easier.
This is a classic nakiri in terms of size and shape. These knives are becoming quite popular in many Western kitchens of late. Their compact size and interesting profile have found a new legion of users in both professional and home environments. This is a vegetable cutter of the highest order. The flat edge and extra finger clearance make it a great choice for users who prefer a push-cutting style. These knives are handmade in Sakai and have excellent fit and finish. The handles are made from rosewood and are a traditional octagonal shape.Brand: Kikuichi

An agile, light weight nakiri. Could have been a little sharper when it arrived, but that has been remedied. The blade has bling,but don't let that fool you. It is superb and easy to work with.
