SRS13 is a powdered semi-stainless alloy developed by Nachi-Fujikoshi in Japan, capable of taking a very sharp edge with good wear resistance and toughness. Tsunehisa uses it in a laser cut san mai construction here, precision-cut from a pre-formed sheet with stainless cladding for easy maintenance and hand engraving on the blade face for a traditional visual touch.
This nakiri is built for vegetable work: flat edge, tall blade at 52mm, squared tip, designed for clean push cutting through a full range of produce without the tearing or wedging a thinner or shorter blade might cause. At 163mm blade length it is a standard working nakiri size.
Care Instructions: SRS13 is a semi-stainless powdered steel - more forgiving than carbon steel but still benefits from hand washing, drying, and avoiding bones and frozen foods. Use quality water stones when it is time to sharpen.
