The Fujiwara Kanefusa Kurouchi Nakiri knife has unique “Black Forged” (Kurouchi) blade. The blade core is made from Hitachi White Steel No.2, which is sandwiched with soft iron.
The black-colored Kurouchi finish, which covers the upper soft iron part of the blade, is a special traditional coating that produces a unique luster and improved corrosion-resistance. However, while Kurouchi knives require less maintenance than typical carbon steel knives, please remember that the White Steel No.2 blade core and the soft iron portion of the bevel can still discolor or rust easily.
The knife comes with the popular “D-Shaped” traditional-style handle, which is made from magnolia wood and a water buffalo horn ferrule.
The Nakiri is a double bevel edged knife that is rectangular in profile and has a tall, thin blade. It is popular throughout Japan and is often used by home cooks for quickly and efficiently chopping, slicing or mincing vegetables and fruit. It is becoming increasingly popular with vegetarians.

United KingdomReally impressed with the knife while chopping vegetables. Feels great in the hand.
United StatesIf you have never branched out to try different styles of knives and you cook with lots of vegetables, I highly recommend this nakiri. It is extremely well made and is amazing for chopping. I hesitated at first before buying my nakiri, now it is in my top three that I use daily. If you like to cook, you will not regret purchasing one..
United KingdomThe product itself was great but I was most impressed with how JCK dealt with a missing package. They were understanding and quickly resolved the situation and also included a gift for the inconvenience. I would highly recommend them and will use them again myself.
ArmeniaIt's a fine knife and I am completely satisfied with both performance - which is by far the most important and the overall view and feel of the knife. I definitely recommend this knife both because it's a fine product and if you didn't try already working with Nakiri - try it definitely, it's fun and convenient, compared with every other knife types.
CanadaI maintain it with a leather strop and green polishing paste. It's really sharp.
