An In depth look

Blade Type

The Nakiri knife, revered in Japanese culinary traditions, is engineered for exceptional vegetable cutting. Featuring a distinct, straight-edged, and rectangular blade, it excels in creating uniform, precise cuts and aesthetic presentation. Its technical design ensures efficiency and precision, making it a valuable tool for both professional chefs and home cooks.

Steel Type

Japanese White Steel #2, a traditional high-carbon steel, is cherished for its purity and fine grain structure, enabling razor-sharp edges, at the cost of being reactive. It is one of the easiest steels to sharpen, but cannot be left wet for even short periods otherwise rust spots can occur. If you’re fastidious in your knife maintenance, this knife steel can be extremely rewarding to use.

Care Information

This knife is made from a high-carbon steel and as such, will require a little more care than a regular off-the-shelf knife. It must be dried shortly after use, as prolonged exposure to moisture can cause rust spots to appear. A very light coat of oil during storage also helps to prevent rust spots. A patina (colouration and seasoning of the steel) will occur with use.

Introducing

Morihei

Based in Asakusabashi, Tokyo, Morihei is a revered name in the world of Japanese blades and sharpening, with a legacy spanning over 100 years. At its peak, more than 20 groups of blacksmiths and sharpeners worked under the Morihei name — a testament to its deep roots in the craft.

Renowned for its extraordinary collection of whetstones and natural sharpening stones, Morihei remains one of the last companies in Japan to uphold long-standing relationships between blacksmiths and traditional stonemakers.
