Kei Kobayashi is a new blacksmith who is making knives for the first time in his career. Until recently he has been working as a sharpener/finisher for a couple of leading blacksmiths, but is now forging himself. The Kobayashi SG2 Nakiri 165mm is one of the first of his creations. Bearing in mind his short time at the forge, we are extremely impressed by this and the other knives making up his new line.
He has chosen to work with SG2 as basis of these first offerings. SG2 is renowned for its super dense grain structure and purity. These attributes make it harder and less brittle than other similar steels. This results in a knife that has the ability to take and retain a very fine edge. It is also incredibly durable. The inner core of SG2 is clad with a softer stainless steel for added protection and to make sharpening easier.
The nakiri is a do it all vegetable cutting machine and is a wonderful all-around push cutter, slicer and dicer that is becoming a popular choice blade in many home kitchens. Its tall blade gives increased finger to board clearance while its shorter length makes it ideal for handling a wide variety of produce and proteins.
The knife comes with an uber comfortable seven-sided handle made from dyed lacquer coated pakka wood. Blade Length: 161 mm
Blade Height: 50 mm
Spine Thickness at Base: 1.9 mm
Weight: 5.4 oz
