Isamitsu White #1 Nakiri 165mm Zelkova Pentagonal Handle

Mr. Abe Isamitsu, the skilled craftsman behind Isamitsu knives, possesses over 20 years of expertise in knife making. Prior to establishing his brand, he worked with a renowned master blacksmith, gaining invaluable knowledge and experience.

Each Isamitsu knife undergoes a meticulous process of forging, grinding, and sharpening, all performed by hand within his workshop. The result is a unique collection of kitchen knives, crafted from White #1 carbon steel, renowned for its exceptional edge retention and gratifying sharpening experience. Additionally, these blades are skillfully cladded with stainless steel, a challenging technique that ensures easier maintenance while preserving the advantages of carbon steel.

We hope you enjoy these knives as much as we do by Abe-san!

A nakiri is a versatile blade that excels in processing large amounts of vegetables and the rectangular shape is also very useful to pick up all the chopped bits!
