Traded Mikami nakiri

[Hauscarl]

You know the story: maker is dead, cuts like crazy, etc... The most distal taper I’ve seen on a nakiri personally. Never sharpened, very light home use. I have a santoku and wa bocho from him I’m keeping, just not a nakiri guy.

165x56, 187g

$250 CONUS

Is 170mm the actual edge length or the length across the top from tip to above the heel?

Actual edge length more like 165, always hard to account for the rounded tip

Those Mikamis are amazing knives. Excellent heat treatment, easy to sharpen long holding edge. Get a new handle and make a nice kasumi with an uchigumori fingerstone and you'll have a great Nakiri with a lot of knife history.
