The Mazaki White #2 Kurouchi Nakiri 180mm is a powerful example of traditional Sanjo-style craftsmanship, where cutting performance is placed above all else. Hand-forged with a Shirogami (White #2) carbon steel core, the blade takes an exceptionally sharp edge and responds beautifully on sharpening stones, appealing to enthusiasts who appreciate hands-on knife care.
This nakiri is a very typical Sanjo knife, featuring a thick, robust tang and spine at the heel, combined with extreme tapering from the choil toward the front of the blade. This distinctive geometry delivers exceptional authority and stability through dense produce while maintaining a thin, precise cutting edge for effortless push cuts and clean vegetable work. The kurouchi finish enhances its rustic, hand-forged appearance while offering mild protection against corrosion.
With its tall blade, flat edge profile, confident food release, and refined taper, this 180mm nakiri excels at chopping, slicing, and prepping vegetables with speed and precision, fully embodying the performance-driven character of Sanjo knife making.
