This latest batch of nakiris have minor kurouchi finishing flaws so we're discounting them $20. The photos are typical of the finish and look rustic. Nakiri knives are a popular choice among both home and professional cooks. They are a perfect utensil for cutting, slicing, or chopping any and all vegetables—their height appeals to users with large hands or those liking a good board-to-hand clearance.
These “knives for cutting greens” feature a very square shape and double bevel grind. They have quite straight edges for increased chop cutting and slicing prowess.
The Kohetsu Blue #2 nakiri is a really nice example of the breed. It has a well-executed grind and the aesthetics to match. Add in the fact that the blade is constructed from the well-regarded steel known as Aogami # 2, and you have a knife that offers much…for not much at all! The excellent main core steel is protected and strengthened by adding stainless steel cladding. Upkeep is reduced considerably while superior edge creation and retention are maintained. This is a bona fide handcrafted blade of great quality and design at a price that is more in keeping with mass-produced items of similar type.
If you have ever wanted to try a nakiri or the excellent Blue #2 steel (or both), this is a perfect and economical place to start.Maker: Kohetsu

This knife is such a great value for the price! Not only is it the sexiest knife I’ve ever owned it’s also the best knife I own! I am glad that I went with the 180mm nakiri, it just has a much better feel in my hand than the 160mm bunka that I’ve been using. The weight of the blade and edge geometry really does all the work when slicing vegetables. This knife is expertly crafted, and I will be buying a whole set from this knife maker eventually!
