As is tradition, he started working with his father when he was 16, but almost a half-century later, he started making kitchen knives! As a craftsman specializing in thin blades, called Usamono in Sanjo, he was well equipped with the skill and machinery to forge kitchen blades.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSticking to proven methods and materials, Munetoshi forges his blades from Shirogami, known as white carbon steel. I’ve been using knives made from this steel for two decades, and it still blows me away whenever I cut with it. It gets as sharp as a razor, flying through meat and vegetables like nothing. Tsurumaki-san has given these blades a clean finish and handle, letting the blade speak for itself when it’s time to get chopping. He gets nothing but respect from me because these knives are cut like crazy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Shape -\u003c\/b\u003e A Nakiri is a vegetable knife. Underutilised in the Western kitchen, the Nakiri’s flat blade is meant for the push\/pull chopping of vegetables. Since the entire flat edge of the knife kisses the cutting board at once, you won't be turning the vegetable into an accordion. Accordion vegetables are still connected like a paper doll after you're “done” cutting them. To truly understand the awesomeness of a Nakiri we recommend making onion soup your first night with the knife. The ease of chopping will blow you away.\n","brand":"Munetoshi Hamono","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47249873862830,"sku":"MUNW2KRTS165NA","price":162.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/files\/MunetoshiShirogamiKurouchiTsuchimeNakiri165mm1.jpg?v=1792009811","url":"https:\/\/knifewear.com\/en-us\/products\/munetoshi-shirogami-kurouchi-tsuchime-nakiri-165mm","provider":"Knifewear - Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
