Kurouchi Nashiji Series

The Kurouchi Nashiji series combines two traditional Japanese blade finishes. Kurouchi is the dark, rustic forge scale left on the upper blade. Nashiji, or pear skin, is a textured finish that gives the lower blade character and helps food release. The blades use stainless clad High Performance SLD steel for a durable, long-lasting edge.

The series includes gyuto, santoku, nakiri, petty and sujihiki-kiritsuke, plus convenient two-knife and five-knife sets with magnolia saya. The sets make excellent gifts. See the Kurouchi Nashiji SLD Series.
