- In stock, ready to ship
- Backordered, shipping soon
The striking beauty of this knife places it into a category of its own. Artful in its simplistic, sweeping lines, this santoku knife embodies the best of Japanese craftsmanship. The Nagomi name proudly stamped on the blade signifies hundreds of years of time-honored traditions, identifying a knife with roots that extend right back to the legendary Samurai swords of Japan's past. Each knife is individually handcrafted by expert artisans, and the high-gloss, hand-polished wood handle beautifully accentuates top-grade stainless steel. The rivets in the handle are painstakingly sealed into the wood, keeping the blade firmly in place while the rivets remain unnoticeable.
Mitsuboshi Cutlery recommends sharpening their kitchen knives at a precise 15-degree angle for optimal performance and long-lasting sharpness. For maintaining and sharpening Japanese knives at home, please watch the video here.

Their knives are still made in the same place where the samurai of old traveled to have their blades sharpened.
