About Haruyuki Shiso -

Aogami Super is the king of knife steel—super easy to sharpen, gets a laser beam edge, cuts like silk, and isn’t as fussy as other carbon steels. It’s then clad in stainless steel, so only the edge needs to be kept dry to avoid rusting. Brilliant. If that wasn’t enough, they’ve given it this black ‘kurouchi’ finish, which makes for a seriously badass blade. The two-tone handle compliments the overall look of the blade so well and really makes this a knife worth showing off!

Designed for kitchen success, Haruyuki knives are beloved among professionals and home cooks alike for their reliable, high-performance blades. Haruyuki combines ancient Japanese tradition with efficient modern technology: blades are forged by machine for unparalleled precision, consistency, and affordability. Skilled artisans then complete the remaining steps by hand, from polishing and sharpening the blade to affixing its handle. The resulting knives have the feel and aesthetics of a traditional handmade knife while being more accessible to young cooks and folks starting their knife collection.

About the Shape - A Nakiri is a vegetable knife. Under utilized in the Western kitchen, the Nakiri’s flat blade is meant for the push/pull chopping of vegetables. Since the entire flat edge of the knife kisses the cutting board at once, you wont be turning the vegetable into an accordion. Accordion vegetables are still connected like a paper doll after you're “done” cutting them. To truly understand the awesomeness of a Nakiri we recommend making onion soup your first night with the knife. The ease of chopping will blow you away.
