Ashi Hamono Ginga 180mm western nakiri in Swedish stainless steel hardened to 61HRC. Ashi does not keep 180mm nakiris at 61HRC in stock, so this is a 4 to 5 month wait custom order if you try to get one.
Excellent fit and finished with rounded spine and rounded choil. This is one of the best finished choils I've ever seen.
I've cut with this about twice in a home setting. It is almost new. Never sharpened. Only stropped once on loaded balsa.
Weight - 196 grams
Heel to spine - 50.5 mm
Cutting edge length is 180mm.
Thickness of spine above heel 2.1mm
Thickness of spine at middle - 2.1mm
Thickness of spine near tip - 1.3mm. Yes, there is a distal taper toward the tip, not that it matters much on a nakiri.
Price is $150 dollars which includes shipping in the USA.
