My take on a Nakiri...

[ScottRoush]

It is 10″ over all length, 1/8″ thick at the spine, forged from antique wrought iron/1095 laminated steel (san mai), ground to near zero dimensions on edge. There is a textured, antiqued copper spacer and Ceylon ebony handle. An extremely fine, sharp edge with some meat in the spine for chopping and/or very fine slicing.

Thanks for looking!

very cool looking nakiri.

Awesome Nakiri! Love the ebony handle and the great blade. One mighty chopper and slicer!

Thanks guys...

Fishinbo.. I go through a lot of Portaband blades. Just checked out your website.. might give you a shot!

pretty neat little knife — is it about a 4.5" blade? It's kind of a cross between a moroha usuba and a nakiri higashigata.

Thanks... yes.. it is just about 4.5" It is very similar to one I made for myself from 15n20 a couple of years ago and it is my all time favorite knife in the kitchen.
