Harukaze means windy spring, and it has become one of our best brands for good-quality, bang-for-your-buck knives with high performance and excellent steels.
This fine-looking nakiri is made from the ubiquitous stainless steel known as VG-10. It is also called V-Gold 10, and it is, hands down, the most used stainless steel in the Japanese kitchen knife industry. There are several reasons for this popularity, leading among them is the great stain resistance of the steel and its ability to take a very sharp edge.
This is a classic nakiri, one of the most popular blade shapes used by Japanese cooks. It is on the long side, which adds balance and versatility to the knife. The edge is double-sided, so it is useful to right- and left-handed users. It is also a breeze to maintain. This is a high performer and a great looker at a very attractive price.
Care Instructions: VG-10 is a low-maintenance stainless steel. Hand wash and dry after use - no dishwasher. Sharpen on quality water stones when the edge needs attention and maintain with a strop or ceramic rod between full sharpenings.
