The Matsubara Hamono (Tanaka Kama Industry) KT-508 Nakiri is a traditional Japanese knife designed for slicing and chopping vegetables. Its wide, rectangular blade—featuring a nearly straight cutting edge—is ideal for tasks such as shredding cabbage or slicing root vegetables, herbs, and other produce. The geometry of the Nakiri facilitates a vertical cutting motion, while the broad surface of the blade is convenient for transferring prepared ingredients from the cutting board.
The blade is crafted from Japanese Shirogami #1 (White Steel No. 1) carbon steel, clad in stainless steel. Known for its high purity, Shirogami #1 allows for an exceptionally sharp edge and is easy to resharpen using water stones. Please note that the cutting edge is susceptible to corrosion and requires proper care: the knife must be wiped completely dry after each use. A black finish gives the blade a striking appearance. The octagonal handle is made of walnut, while the composite bolster—featuring Makassar ebony accented by a hard maple ring—creates a sophisticated, contrasting blend of natural woods.
