Yamashin White #1 Nakiri 165mm. This authentic Japanese traditional kitchen knife line features hand-forged double-layer white-paper steel blade (white #1) but is very reasonably priced. These are everyday kitchen knives that many good cooks love to use in Japan. They sharpen really well and hold a nice edge. The grinds on these knives are impressive for the price, which makes them a great overall value. If you've never tried a good Japanese knife and don't want to spend a ton of money, these would be an excellent choice. Care for carbon steel knives is simple. Just wipe them dry after you use them and don't let water or acid linger on the blade. The knife will patina over time, adding to the great rustic look of these knives. These knives now come with an upgraded walnut handle with a black pakka wood ferrule.
