Nagomi Knife - Santoku & Utility

The Santoku Knife, inspired by the Japanese kitchen, offers a broad blade ideal for vegetables, meat, and precise slicing, while the slightly larger Utility Knife provides versatility for detailed preparation. Together, they form a reliable set for both home cooks and experienced chefs.

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 to keep a professional sharpness at home for a long time by sharpening the blade a couple of times a month with newspaper.
