Yu Kurosaki Shizuku Nakiri 16.5 cm R2

The Japanese Nakiri kitchen knife is perfect for cutting all types of vegetables. This is due to the thin yet wide blade. This tool is an absolute must for anyone who chops a lot of vegetables, at home or in a professional kitchen.

The Shizuku R2 knife line is one of the most popular products offered by master Yu Kurosaki. Its beauty lies in its craftsmanship and the famous Tsuchime hammered pattern, which creates a water droplet effect. This makes it unique. The name of the Shizuku series comes from here. The core of the knives is made of R2/SG2 powder steel. The heat treatment increases its hardness significantly, reaching 62-63 HRC. Two layers of soft steel surround and protect the core. High-quality R2 steel is easy to maintain and sharpen, and it retains its edge for a long time. The handle is made of beautiful dark rosewood and is octagonal, making it suitable for both right- and left-handed users. The Shizuku R2 collection is the obvious choice for anyone with a passion for Japanese knife craftsmanship. It is the work of a true master and offers incredible functionality.
