Thank you for viewing. This is a forged, hammered-finish nakiri knife. The blade is made of high-carbon stainless steel, also used in custom knives. Craftsmen forge each one individually to enhance its performance, leaving the hammered finish as proof of this process. The handle is a traditional octagonal shape, designed for a comfortable grip.
