The stainless steel cladding helps reduce maintenance, while the signature Tsuchime (hammered) finish gives each knife its unique handmade appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its 165mm blade, this Nakiri is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife designed for effortless chopping, slicing, and dicing. Its tall, rectangular blade and relatively flat cutting edge make it especially effective for push-cutting vegetables, preparing leafy greens, and handling everything from delicate herbs to larger produce. The generous blade height also provides excellent knuckle clearance and makes transferring chopped ingredients from the cutting board easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the Western-handled models, this Nakiri features a traditional Japanese Wa-handle made from magnolia wood with a natural buffalo horn ferrule. Lightweight, comfortable, and well-balanced, the handle offers excellent control during extended food preparation. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSince buffalo horn is a natural material, each ferrule is unique and can vary considerably in colour, ranging from deep black and dark brown to lighter shades of blonde, cream, and white.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e These natural variations are part of the knife's individual character, making every piece a little different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFujiwara knives are a little different from what you might expect at this price point. Don't expect perfectly polished surfaces or flawless cosmetic finishes. These knives are traditionally handmade, with a focus on heat treatment, blade geometry, and cutting performance rather than fancy finishing. It's part of their charm, and exactly why so many knife enthusiasts appreciate them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Made in Japan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67828603715817,"sku":null,"price":475.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/4368\/6711\/files\/TeruyasuFujiwaraMaboroshiShiro1WaNakiri165mm.png?v=1793649659","url":"https:\/\/kakushin.ca\/products\/teruyasu-fujiwara-maboroshi-shiro1-wa-nakiri-165mm","provider":"Kakushin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
