Masashi Nashiji Gyuto 210mm Shirogami 2

The universal Masashi Nashiji Shirogami#2 chef’s knife with a blade length of 210 mm is perfect for chopping, but also for cutting large pieces of meat. Masashi-san makes these knives himself at every stage of the production process – from forging the steel, through applying the grinds and sharpening, to setting the handle. Masashi-san is a respected independent manufacturer living in Sanjo in the Land of the Rising Sun. Masashi Nashiji Shirogami#2 are knives that are made using the SAN-MAI technique. Their blade consists of 3 layers with a hard core forged from Shirogami#2 carbon steel. It is protected by outer layers made of soft stainless steel. The San-mai technique ensures flexibility and durability of the blades. During heat treatment, the knives achieve an extraordinary hardness – in the range of 62-64 HRC. The Nashiji blade is also characterized by a unique Japanese look. The octagonal handle in the “WA” style is made of light magnolia wood. It comfortably fits in the hand of both right-handed and left-handed people.
