Masakage Yuki Nakiri 165mm
Yoshimi Kato’s decades of experience are evident in this beautiful 165mm nakiri from the Masakage Yuki series. The knife features a characterful nashiji (pear skin) finish and is constructed with a Shirogami #2 carbon steel core wrapped in low-maintenance stainless steel. The fine edge taking of Shirogami #2, coupled with the excellent grind on this knife, delivers an extremely high level of performance. Please note that individual knives may vary from the posted specifications and that the carbon core steel will darken with normal use.
Masakage, a company by Shibata Takayuki, collaborates with a variety of blacksmiths. Each knife is hand-forged by a skilled artisan and then masterfully sharpened by Shibata-san’s team. Masakage offers a wide variety of steels, styles, and finishes to please even the most discerning consumers. The Yuki series, forged by Yoshimi Kato, is named for its hazy pear skin finish.
A nakiri will quickly become your go-to vegetable prep knife. The flat surface along the length of the cutting edge means you can say goodbye to accordion cuts. At 165mm, this is the most common knife length for a nakiri around the globe. Why? We have no idea, but clearly the smiths know better since any nakiri you will ever hear about will have a 165mm version.
