Exceptional Precision and Elegance in Every Cut
The Kazoku Mabushii Nakiri 16.5 cm is the perfect combination of luxury and performance, offering an elevated version of the Takahiro and Chikara series. This knife is beautifully finished, with every detail polished to a mirror-like shine—true to the Japanese term "Mabushii," meaning "blinding." It's a knife that excels in both function and aesthetics, making it an essential addition to any kitchen.
Crafted from hard AUS 10 steel with a hardness of 61 HRC, the Nakiri blade is designed for exceptional sharpness and durability. It is protected by 16 layers of stainless steel, creating an elegant, layered pattern that adds visual appeal. A hammer-blow treatment is applied to the knife, reducing food sticking and providing smoother cutting for more efficient preparation. The knife is meticulously made in Seki, Japan, the heart of traditional Japanese knife-making.
The knife’s octagon-shaped handle, made from Enju (Japanese hardwood), offers a comfortable and secure grip—even when your hands are wet. Enju is moisture-resistant, requires minimal maintenance, and naturally develops character over time. Regular oiling will help maintain the handle’s condition and enhance its natural beauty.
If you’re seeking an affordable Japanese knife with a touch of exclusivity, the Kazoku Mabushii Nakiri 16.5 cm is the ideal choice.
