Morihei Hisamoto 165mm nakiri hand forged in Tokyo with a hard tempered shirogami 1 core clad in soft iron. 

Forged and ground thin these represent excellent quality work with a simple finished grind that keeps them affordable. 

Shirogami 1 is capable of taking an exceedingly fine edge with excellent edge life, finishing with fine synthetic or especially fine natural stones is highly recommended on this series. 

Avoid twisting, scraping or cutting hard ingredients such as bones, pits, shells etc. ideal for vegetables and boneless proteins. 

This is a non-stainless carbon steel, it should be mentioned that extra care is required, it should be washed and dried immediately after use. It will develop a dark patina with usage, but any orange rust should be removed with a light abrasive.
