Kanetsune KC-558 165mm Kuro-Uchi Nakiri – White Steel #3

Product Description

Traditional Japanese Carbon-Steel Nakiri

The Kanetsune KC-558 is a traditional 165mm nakiri made for clean, efficient vegetable prep. Its White Steel #3 core is forge-clad with soft iron and finished in a rustic kuro-uchi treatment that gives the blade unmistakable Japanese character.

At HRC 60–61, the blade is capable of taking a very keen edge. The D-shaped magnolia wood handle keeps the knife light and agile. Because this is a carbon-steel knife, the blade should be dried promptly after use and lightly maintained to prevent corrosion.
