About the blade type: This is a multi-purpose knife, especially handy for cutting veggies.

*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.

Super sharp

Superb handcrafted knife from Mr Nakamura. It is very light, super sharp and I can’t wait to use it for cooking. Happy to have been able to buy directly from Japanese artisans whose know-how is no longer to be proven.

Absolutely worth the wait.

While the blade is much thinner than I was expecting, for what I paid for the knife it is very beautiful. It came with a REALLY COOL sharpening stone! And just sharpening the knife, which was already pretty sharp, is therapeutic! You get what you pay for and with this knife I am very pleased. Another great knife that I will use and own for the rest of my life. Would absolutely recommend.

Dear Dwayne Koblitz,

Thank you so much for your review and for your patience as the craftsman worked on your order. We are thrilled to hear that you are happy with your knife, and Nakamura Blacksmith will be happy to hear so, too! We hope you enjoy it for years to come.
