Nagomi Knife - Utility

The Utility Knife is slightly larger than usual and is perfect for those who want to improve their cooking skills.

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.

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