Kaneshige Hamono 165mm Nakiri Stainless Clad Aogami 2 Kurouchi Ho Wood Handle

Rustic style stainless clad aogami 2 nakiri made for Kaneshige Hamono (parent company of Konosuke). This is a no frills slightly heavier hand forged blade that has a hollow grind on the wide kireba grinds. A great example of the kind of knife popular in the rural Japanese market; nothing fancy on the finish work but made with a good quality steel. 

Nakiri are best suited for vegetables and should not be mistaken for a butcher cleaver, avoid hacking with them or using them on any hard shells, pits or with a scraping or twisting motion on the board.
