Nagomi Knife - Chef

The Chef Knife is slightly smaller than standard chef knives and has been designed for ease of use at home. This beautiful knife was born in Seki, Japan, and has been historically known as forged Samurai swords since the Kamakura period (1185-1333).

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

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