Santoku SLD Nashiji Washi Yaki Urushi Handle 165mm (6.5”)

Wonderful knife

I had very good shopping experience at Musashi shop and now my son is happy owner of the Japanese knife bought from Tokyo.

Santoku SLD Nashiji Washi Yaki Urushi Handle 165mm (6.5”)

This is my first Japanese knife and I’ve been loving it! Chopping with it is buttery smooth, but definitely lacks size for long slices. It’s been a great starter knife for me! The nashiji finish is just elegant and the burnt handle has a great look to it. Food release on the vegetables is solid and small piece meat slicing is what you’d expect. Still need to get a feel for fish cutting but it definitely knocks out 2 of the 3 virtues with ease! An all around great starter knife. Customer service was English friendly and very personable. The price might be a little steep compared to other shop In Kapapbashi, but it’s made up with the experience and passion felt from the workers👍
