Munetoshi White #2 Nashiji Nakiri 165mm

Munetoshi Knives are made by Kouiti Turumaki in Sanjo Niigata. Mr. Turumaki began blacksmithing for his father we he was only 15 years old and has over 50 years of experience under his belt now. His process is very traditional in the same workshop used by his family for 3 generations. All forging done in coal and all of his blades are water quenched. 

This series is made from Shirogami #2 high carbon steel laminated in soft iron. The blade is natual kurouchi finished with nashiji texture left from the forging process. The blade has a medium weight feel and very balanced performance. These can handle precise tasks with ease, but also feel very confident. The heat treatment on the steel is absolutely superb. Pure joy to sharpen and use. Comes fitted with d-shaped magnolia and horn ferrule.
