Hatsukokoro Ginyo Ginsan Damascus Nakiri 170mm
Hatsukokoro Ginyo Ginsan Damascus Nakiri 170mm
About Hatsukokoro Ginyo - Made by Yoshihiro Yauji, a blacksmith from Takefu Knife Village, with over 15 years of apprenticeship under Master Blacksmith Hideo Kitaoka, he started producing his own knives under his name in 2019. Yoshihiro Yauji is an expert in crafting traditional single-bevel knives; this is the first series we've seen with a double bevel - using Ginsan and finishing them with an intricate Damascus. In our humble opinion, these knives deserve more recognition!
About the Shape - Underutilized 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 touches the cutting board at once, you won't be turning the vegetable into an 'accordion', pieces that are still connected by a thread after you've cut them. The added weight of the blade allows it to fall through food more easily while you chop, so the knife does more of the work for you! How great is that?
