Sakai Takayuki Itsuo Doi Guren Aogami #2 180mm Nakiri with Burnt Oak Wa Handle
Sakai Takayuki, renowned as the largest knife maker in Sakai, Japan, presents the Guren Aogami #2 Nakiri—a masterpiece created in collaboration with master blacksmith Itsuo Doi. This 180mm Nakiri features a distinctive tsuchime (hammered) kurouchi finish, a signature of Doi’s craftsmanship, showcasing the beauty and functionality of Aogami #2 (Blue Steel) core.
Exceptional Aogami #2 Core and Distinctive Finish
The Homura Guren series is known for its detailed craftsmanship, from the personalized maker's mark of Itsuo Doi to the stunning hammered finish. Aogami #2 steel offers superior sharpness and edge retention, while the iron cladding and kasumi polish provide a rustic, yet refined look. This Nakiri, with its flat edge profile, ensures clean cuts through vegetables without accordion cuts.
Burnt Oak Wa Handle with Urushi Lacquer
The handle is crafted from burnt oak using the traditional Shou Sugi Ban technique and finished with a protective Urushi lacquer. The octagonal design provides a comfortable grip, and the handle’s unique character complements the knife’s aesthetic appeal, making it a standout addition to any kitchen.
