Mutsumi Hinoura’s Blue Super Kurouchi knives offer exceptional craftsmanship and cutting performance, combining a robust hand-forged feel with remarkably thin geometry behind the edge. The premium Blue Super carbon steel core takes an incredibly keen edge, delivers outstanding edge retention, and develops a rich patina over time. Finished with a traditional kurouchi forge scale, these blades have a distinctive rustic character while remaining practical and easy to maintain. Well balanced, durable, and highly versatile, they are an excellent choice for cooks seeking the performance and personality of a handcrafted Japanese carbon steel knife.

A nakiri is a versatile blade that excels in processing large amounts of vegetables and the rectangular shape is also very useful to pick up all the chopped bits!
