Relatively short 125mm nakiri—precision vegetable work in a compact package, perfect for narrow boards, service work on the line. Hand-forged as a San Mai core of Aogami 2 with 15N20 outer walls for a razor-ready edge and striking, contrasting pinstripe pattern. A 53mm heel gives added heft for push cuts and knuckle clearance, finished in a subtle Nashiji texture that reduces cling and highlights the blade’s layered construction. Handle crafted from stabilized single-tree persimmon, rich and tactile, capped with spalted olive for wild, organic contrast—balanced, one-of-a-kind, and built to elevate everyday prep.
