Nakiri knives are my favorite toys, I have had a few and plan to keep going. I bought this one (new from CuttingEdgeKnives in UK) because it is taller than most 165 nakiri knives, but without being excessively heavy. My favorite nakiri at the moment is Moritaka 180 AS, so this one is looking for a new home.
EDIT (6th of August): German post does not offer anymore insurance with 'large letter' product and forces its customers to send items that need insurance as 'package'. This effectively means paying about 20€ more for effectively the same (just slower) service. This means that the price of the items as offered is shipped only within EU. Worldwide costs 20€ extra. I apologise for the inconvenience.
Price: 150€ shipped within EU, worldwide shipping costs 20€ extra
Payment: PayPal or wire transfer
Blade length: 163 mm
Blade height: 55 mm
Spine thickness:
- at the handle: 3.45 mm
- half way towards the tip: 1.8 mm
- 1 cm from the tip: 1.5 mm
Weight: 167 g
Blade steel: Aogami Super clad in soft stainless steel
Handle: pakkawood bolster and cherry (I guess), pretty nicely done
Balance point: about 3 cm in front of the heel
Left/Right: this is symmetrically ground blade, even though the choil shot makes it look like it was lefty-biased. Closer inspection says that the cross section becomes symmetrical after 1-2 cm from the heel
Condition: I have worked on the blade quite a bit. I wanted to take out all low spots (the few that were there were rather shallow, the grind was above average in this regard), one is still visible. To improve on food release I gave the blade a gentle hamaguri grind towards the edge. The current finish (not super even, that is lack of experience on my side) was done with a Natsuya. The knife comes with an original box.
