Hitohira Harima Forged Blue #2 Stainless Clad Migaki Nakiri Walnut Handle

The Hitohira Harima Aogami #2 Stainless Clad Migaki Nakiri is a traditional Japanese knife hand-forged in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.

Its blade is composed of a Blue #2 (Aogami #2) carbon steel core, renowned for its sharpness and durability, wrapped in stainless steel cladding that facilitates maintenance and limits oxidation.

The migaki (polished) finish reveals the texture of the cladding and the care taken in its creation. The straight, high nakiri profile is ideal for cutting vegetables vertically, offering full and clean contact with the cutting board.

The knife has a walnut handle with a pakka ring, providing a natural grip, good balance, and a simple, functional aesthetic.
A model that balances tradition, performance, and ease of maintenance—perfect for cooks who value precision and consistency when cutting vegetables.

Product notes

Please take note

Each handle is unique and may exhibit distinct variations, such as differences in shades or colors in the buffalo horn, which is part of its authentic and handcrafted character.

Guarantee

Every knife carries a lifetime warranty against obvious manufacturing issues. For example, if the handle peels or cracks after a few weeks of proper use. Or if the blade develops a crack from the edge to the spine. These issues are rare, but can occur. In such cases, you will be offered an exchange for the same product or a refund. Since each case is different, it is at our discretion to assess whether our lifetime warranty against obvious manufacturing issues applies.
