Akifusa’s mission from the start has been to supply conscientious cooks and knife enthusiasts with the tools they need to do their best work. Collaborating with a roster of blacksmiths and craftsmen (including Ohishi) across Japan, Akifusa knives are designed to maximize the pleasure of cutting and build a lasting relationship between tool and user. To them, everything they do is focused on the bigger picture of building a better work life for their customers.

Constructed from a Blue Super carbon steel core and clad in stainless steel, these are excellent choices for first time users of carbon steel knives who want a taste of the sharpness and edge retention of carbon steel without the full maintenance headache. Those looking for a reliable knife that can handle high volumes of cutting without constant sharpening will do very well to invest in the Akifusa Blue Super Migaki line. 

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!
