Fujiwara Denka 165mm Nakiri - Japanese kitchen knife

Fujiwara Denka 165mm Nakiri is top quality kitchen knife with a blade made of Aogami super carbon steel eh. Nakiri is a knife aimed at vegetables, which is one of the oldest knife models in Japan. This Denka Nakiri has a fine and very pleasant Ebony handle with a buffalo horn forend.

The Fujiwara family started 130 years ago as a blacksmith. At first as sword forges, but then after the Second World War when sword production collapsed, Teruyasu Fujiwara IV started making kitchen knives. knives are designed with the professional in mind. The blade is very hard (65-66, Rockwell) and thin behind the blade, so it cuts really well. Due to its hardness, the blade retains its sharpness for a very long time. The carbon steel core of the blade is protected by stainless sides (Sanmai), so the blade of the knife is not easily rusted. The knife in question is razor sharp and beautifully finished. If you like slightly more special knives that cut well and have a strong feel, this is it. Big recommendation.
