Minonokuni Raku Ao-Ko Super Tsuchime 170mm Nakiri

Experience the craftsmanship of traditional Japanese blacksmithing with the Minonokuni Ao-Ko Super Tsuchime 170mm Nakiri. Designed specifically for precise vegetable prep, this Nakiri features a core of Ao-Ko Super high-carbon steel—renowned for its excellent edge retention, hardness, and responsiveness on the cutting board.

The hand-hammered tsuchime finish isn’t just beautiful—it also helps reduce drag and minimizes food sticking to the blade, making prep work smoother and more efficient. The flat edge profile makes it ideal for push-cutting and chopping, while the thin grind and acute edge deliver clean, effortless slices.

Completed with a traditional octagonal wooden handle for balance and control, this knife blends performance, aesthetics, and heritage in one exceptional tool.
