This 180 mm Nakiri has been fully restored, professionally sharpened, and rehandled with a custom Sakai Takayuki wa-handle that adds both durability and striking visual appeal. At just under 4 oz, it’s unusually slim and light for its class, making it an agile choice for cooks who want speed and precision in vegetable prep without fatigue. The confirmed Nagahiro stamp and Tokusen cartouche firmly place it in Sakai’s tradition of workshop blades, designed for working chefs who value reliable cutting performance over ornament.
