The Moritaka Aogami #2 Nakiri knife is a masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship, featuring a hand-forged Aogami #2 blue steel blade. With a remarkable Rockwell hardness of 60, this knife offers exceptional edge retention and durability. Its octagonal walnut wood handle, complemented by a pakkawood ferrule, ensures a comfortable grip for effortless slicing.
With a razor-sharp double-bevel edge of 10-12°, this Nakiri knife is incredibly robust, making it less prone to chipping or nicking compared to single-edged alternatives. Each knife is meticulously crafted in Kumamoto, Japan, embodying centuries of tradition.
Keep in mind that as a carbon steel knife, this Nakiri will develop a beautiful patina over time. Proper care is essential to prevent rust, ensuring a long-lasting performance in your kitchen.
