More about ICHIGO Nezu

I’ve long said, the best knife is the one that gets you excited to cook, and that’s precisely what this knife does to me! I’m grabbed by the strikingly polished near-mirror blade, so perfectly complemented by the dark bubinga handle. While I first grabbed this knife because of its beauty, I keep coming back because it cuts so dang well. Perfectly ground to a super-thin edge, it flies through vegetables effortlessly. Every time I cut with it, I’m reminded of the first time I tried a Japanese knife and fell in love with its sharpness.

Because this knife is crafted from SLD Semi-stainless steel, it also requires way less care than your average Japanese knife. As long as you follow the care guide on the other side of this letter, your knife will be cutting beautifully for decades to come.
