Nakamura Blacksmith Kurouchi Santoku 180mm

$109.99

Includes: 

  • Kurouchi 'Santoku' Kitchen Knife (handcrafted from steel, 18cm blade length
  • Red Sharpening Stone (15cm x 4cm x 3cm)
  • FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING

A handcrafted double bevel knife made from Shirogami (white steel) No. 2 steel, a very traditional steel prized by blacksmiths and knife enthusiasts alike for its great edge retention and legendary sharpness.
The knife has a light poplar wooden handle, and the blade is engraved with the signature of the smithy. The pack includes a small whetstone you can use to keep your blade clean and sharp.
About the blade type: This is a multi-purpose knife, especially handy for cutting veggies.
You can choose from a normal or thick blade.
Thicker blades are more durable and suited for heavy-duty tasks, while thinner blades are better for precision cutting and slicing due to their ease of maneuverability.

*Each knife is crafted by hand, so there may be slight variations in weight and dimensions. We ask for your kind understanding.

*Depending on the number of orders and smithy availability, it can occasionally take up to 3 weeks for your knife to ship.

*This knife is made from steel, so it is normal for a certain amount of rust to form over time. Please use the sharpening stone included with your order to remove any rust. You will find a video which explains how to sharpen your knife at the bottom of this page.

*Depending on the value of your order and local import rules in your country, you may be required to pay additional import taxes when your package arrives.

Nakamura Blacksmith Kurouchi Santoku 180mm

I am very proud to own one of these knives, owning a hand made knife of this quality has been on my wishlist for several years. There was a small wait for the knife to arrive but I totally expect hand made quality to take time. Good things come to those who wait.
The knife is beautifully made, handles wonderfully and it was put to work straight away after delivery. I hope Mr. Nakamura doesn't mind that I removed the sticker on the handle.
I would have liked the knife to have been sharper on delivery, however I have seen the video on how to sharpen my knife I just hope I don't make it worse doing so.
I would encourage anyone who wants a handmade knife to buy one of these.
Very, very happy customer.
Thank you.

Dear Ben,

Thanks so much for your review and for supporting Mr. Nakamura and his work. I'm sure he will be happy to hear that you are enjoying the product of his hard work - sticker or no sticker.
We are sorry it wasn't quite sharp enough upon arrival - because each knife is handcrafted there may be some variation in each individual piece. But you can sharpen it using the sharpening stone following the instructions in the video wthout any problems.
Thank you once again for your kind words and for supporting Japanese craftsmen.

Greetings from Japan,

Very good. Very satisfied.

I received the knife safely and quite timely. I really love this knife. It is so well made. And it also was an honor to have a knife from such a fine craftsman. The blacksmith and his family was so likable. I seen their video online. I’ve used this knife in the kitchen and it performed perfectly. I must order another. Thank you!!

Dear Robert Racalla,
