Its rectangular profile and squared tip maintain full board contact on each cut, with no rocking motion. At 180 mm, it handles fine julienne and dense root vegetables equally well, with enough blade height to keep knuckles clear of the board. This format is the most common nakiri size for both home and semi-professional kitchens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sanmai\u0026nbsp;construction pairs a \u003cstrong\u003eShirogami #2 (White Steel #2)\u003c\/strong\u003e core with a jigane cladding on both sides. The nashiji\u0026nbsp;finish gives the jigane a lightly textured, granular surface reminiscent of Asian pear skin, contrasting with the polished edge bevel. The wa-handle in tagayasan, a dense hardwood with tight grain and a deep brown tone, keeps the overall balance centred without adding weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eShirogami #2 (White Steel #2)\u003c\/strong\u003e is a pure carbon steel produced by Hitachi Metals, with no chromium or tungsten. Its carbon content of 1.05,1.15% allows the steel to take a very fine edge in relatively few passes on a whetstone. A patina develops quickly on contact with acidic foods and moisture, which is normal for this steel. Edge retention is solid between sharpenings, but the steel is reactive to moisture and will corrode if left wet. Wiping the blade dry immediately after use is essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe and dry the blade after each use. Apply a light coat of camellia oil for extended storage.
