This line is our owner's favourite knife of the last few shipments from Sanjo. A middle-weight grind, thin enough for advanced cut-feel.
Toshihiro apprenticed under Yamamoto of Yoshikane, you can feel the influence, but these are on the thinner side comparatively.

Japanese Kitchen Knife | Nakiri (Vegetable Knife)
Nakiri knives have a flat profile and tall blade height which aids in push chopping but does make rock style cutting a little uncomfortable. The Nakiri, like many western style chef knives has a double bevel grind, in contrast to the Japanese style vegetable knife, the Usuba, which is single bevel. Whilst a Gyuto or Santoku does do a good job at cutting vegetables, the larger flat bottom of a Nakiri or Usuba make the task much easier. The Nakiri is one of our favourite profiles, highly recommended.
