Crafted entirely by hand, this Nakiri knife from Takayuki Iwai is a testament to traditional Japanese craftsmanship and a commitment to quality over quantity. Forged from Aogami Super Blue carbon steel and finished with a rustic Kurouchi coating, it’s built for serious performance and offers some natural protection against rust.

Takayuki Iwai doesn’t believe in shortcuts—each knife is carefully shaped without mass production or machines, resulting in a blade that’s as functional as it is soulful. With a hardness of 64HRC and a double bevel edge, it delivers precision and durability in every slice. Handle not included—choose one that suits your style.
