Nagomi Knife - Chef

The Chef Knife is slightly smaller than normal chef knives, and has been designed for ease of use at home.

This beautiful knife was born in Seki, Japan which is historically known as forged Samurai swords since the Kamakura period (1185-1333).

With over 100-year knowledge and experiences, Mr. Watanabe, the 5th generation of knife making, had worked together with his wife, who is a chef and also a cooking teacher, to create a new knife that has a professional sharpness but is easy to maintain at home.

The most unique feature of the knife is to keep a professional sharpness at home for a long time by sharpening the blade a couple of times a month with newspaper.
