Left hand ibuki tanzo forged SK steel Usuba Nakiri knife 165mm single edged

This kitchen knife is hand-forged from Japanese SK steel, which offers a perfect balance between ease of sharpening and hardness.

This knife was created as a limited-edition item by re-sharpening a knife that was forged in the early 2000s. Since the number of artisans who hand-forge knives for left-handed users is currently declining, this item is available only while supplies last.

This professional-grade knife has been meticulously finished with the “urasuki” technique by a traditional Japanese knife craftsman.
