Kyohei Kurouchi Nakiri 17 cm Keyaki Aogami #2

The Kyohei Kurouchi Nakiri 17 cm Keyaki Aogami #2 Knife is an excellent choice for anyone who values precision kitchen tools. Nakiri is a knife with a straight, wide blade that is perfect for cutting vegetables and herbs, as well as other tasks requiring even cuts. Thanks to its design, this knife is ideal for kitchens where it is used daily for quick and efficient preparation of ingredients.

The blade is made of Aogami #2 steel, which is characterized by exceptional hardness of 62 HRC, ensuring long-lasting sharpness. Aogami #2 carbon steel is more resistant to damage than other alloys, keeping the knife sharp for longer and minimizing the risk of chipping or cracking. This makes the Kyohei Kurouchi Nakiri Knife a tool that meets the requirements of both professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts.

The Kurouchi finish gives the knife its characteristic dark appearance, which not only adds an aesthetic touch, but also protects against rust. Kurouchi is a protective layer that minimizes the risk of corrosion, although the knife requires proper care to maintain its properties for many years. In addition, carbon steel naturally develops a patina, which, over time, gives the knife a unique appearance and protects the blade from further wear.

The knife handle is made of Keyaki wood, which is not only durable, but also elegant. This wood is perfect for everyday use, providing a secure grip that facilitates precise cutting. In addition, the handle has a plastic ferrule that stabilizes the entire structure and makes the knife more resistant to mechanical damage.

The Kyohei Kurouchi Nakiri 17 cm Knife is a great choice for those looking for high-quality kitchen tools that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern functionality. Made from the finest materials, it not only has excellent cutting properties, but also a unique appearance that will delight anyone who appreciates craftsmanship and quality.
