Gin San Ichimatsu checkered pattern Nakiri Knife Walnut Octagonal Tensoge Handle

This traditional Japanese knife is designed for home use and is specifically intended for preparing vegetables. Its straight-edged blade ensures even contact with the cutting board, allowing vegetables to be cut cleanly and uniformly.

Crafted from Ginsan (Silver No. 3) stainless steel, it provides excellent sharpness along with strong resistance to rust, ensuring easy maintenance and reliable performance over time.

Each knife is individually hand-forged by skilled artisans, with every step—from forging to final polishing—completed in-house.

The handle is made from natural wood and shaped into an octagonal form, fitting comfortably in the hand and allowing for extended use with minimal fatigue.

The “Ichimatsu” (checkered) pattern on the surface is traditionally associated with prosperity and growth, making this knife an excellent choice as a gift.
