After 20 years in the knife business, we don't get wowed very often but the Kohetsu Blue #2 Wa Nakiri 165mm has smitten us. If you are looking to enter the world of carbon steel Japanese knives, we highly recommend the Kohetsu Blue #2 line of knives and this 165mm wa nakiri in particular.

This 165mm nakiri is a great cutter at a fantastic price. The nicely proportioned handle is balanced by the finely ground blade. It’s an attractive knife full of character while being easy to maintain.

While carbon steels require some care in that they can discolor or rust, the addition of stainless cladding reduces this to just the exposed edge. The extra care needed on this edge is offset by the much easier sharpening characteristics of the metal. Even a novice sharpener will feel comfortable bringing this edge up to its full potential.

The knife comes with a very good asymmetrical grind that is about 60/40 making it great for left- and right-handed users.

You will be hard pressed to find a better value in a knife than this lovely 165mm Kohetsu nakiri. The knife is topped off with a very nice urushi finished handle made of solid oak wood in an octagonal configuration.
