An In Depth Look

Blade Type

The Nakiri knife, revered in Japanese culinary traditions, is engineered for exceptional vegetable cutting. Featuring a distinct, straight-edged, and rectangular blade, it excels in creating uniform, precise cuts and aesthetic presentation. Its technical design ensures efficiency and precision, making it a valuable tool for both professional chefs and home cooks.

Steel Type Read

SG2 is considered by many as the best knifemaking steel in Japan. It gives all the benefits of carbon steel (very long edge retention, general ease of sharpening) without the carbon steel stresses of maintenance. It'll hold an edge for a long time, and can quickly and easily be refreshed on a whetstone or ceramic honing steel.

Care Information Read

Hand wash only, never put in a dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing. Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a saya. Sharpen on a whetstone when the blade dulls. Read our full maintenance guide for more information.

After sharpening many knives for some of the top Japanese Blacksmiths, Kobayashi-San decided to create his own kitchen knives. Always in high demand, and for good reason, his knives feature immaculate extra details like highly rounded and polished choils and spines. His knife ranges are now among the most popular in Japan. These are true lasers, extremely thin, light and fall effortlessly through ingredients.

Bought this knife on abit of a whim not really knowing much about Kei Kobayashi. As a chef I have a huge collection of different forgers including Takamura Suminagashi and Hana series, Yu Kurosaki, Takeda among others and this knife I would certainly rank up their with the best of them.
