160mm Handmade Nakiri

This is the knife that vegetables deserve.

It feels as good in the hand as it looks on the bench — precise, purposeful and made to be used.

Masakage Silver Forged Knives

Impressive handmade Japanese knives made from aosuper carbon steel, clad in stainless steel. The blade is forged and sharpened in Fukui, Japan by the Yoshimi Kato workshop. The combination of super hard steel and excellent forging make this range hard to pass.

If you've never owned a carbon steel knife, this blade will impress. While other knives made entirely of carbon steel need regular maintenance to keep them rust and stain free, this knife is much easier to take care of due to its stainless steel cladding. 

Chef's Armoury handles are crafted in Australia.

Note:

  • Made by hand, the pattern and finish of each knife will vary
  • Tactile natural wenge wood handle
  • 50/50 edge grind suitable for left and right handed users.
  • Read the separate care instructions tab

Over time a natural patina will form on the exposed edge of carbon steel. The edge will change colour. This is the nature of carbon steel. If knives are left wet after use they may rust. Rust spots are easily removed with rust cleaner. For maintenance we recommend camellia oil and rust cleaner.

Care Instructions

Knife care for carbon steel stainless clad knives

  • Never put in the dishwasher.
  • The knife is clad in stainless steel to protect against rust however the exposed carbon steel core (at the cutting edge) is susceptible to rust.
  • Do not leave wet overnight or the knife may rust. Dry thoroughly after washing and do not store unless fully dry.
  • A grey/black patina will form on the edge. This is totally normal for carbon steel and aids in protecting against rust.
  • Do not cut through bones, frozen foods or extremely dense items.
  • Always cut with a smooth action and never twist the blade, sideways pressure will damage the blade.
  • Use Japanese waterstones to sharpen your knife.
  • We highly recommend camellia oil and rust cleaner for maintenance.
