The R2 (SG2) core steel is one of our favorites at the shop for its great edge retention and surprising ease of sharpening for such a tough stainless. It also has a very fine and consistent grain structure as it is a powdered steel so it will benefit from being taken to a much higher grit stone than a more traditional stainless steel will. The fit and finish on these knives is also of a very high level with a perfectly smooth transition between the handle and ferrule, the joint between the tang and handle, and the rounding and polishing on the spine and choil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/sharpknifeshop.com\/blogs\/sharp-knife-shop-blog\/the-takefu-knife-village\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTakefu Knife Village\u003c\/a\u003e is a cooperative workshop in the Echizen region of Japan.

It's flat blade profile means that the majority of the edge contacts the cutting board when using an up and down chopping motion which helps prevent those pesky vegetable accordions which occur when the edge doesn't cut all the way through. The tall blade provides ample travel for the guide handle further adding to the comfort this knife provides when using a chopping motion.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/i1WsRFdAYmg\" title=\"How to Maintain a Stainless Steel Knife\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKnife Care (Stainless Steel)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlthough this knife is made from stainless steel we do still encourage our customers to keep their knives as dry and clean as possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNO DISHWASHER - the high heat will ruin the wooden handle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWash and dry by hand using regular dish soap and warm water using a none abrasive sponge or cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEnsure the knife is dry before being put away for storage and ensure the edge of the knife is protected to avoid any unnecessary dulling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAvoid Bones, Frozen foods, nuts and hard candies or anything other than fruits, vegetables and proteins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SHARP Knife Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45836509085885,"sku":"MKTN-165","price":284.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/6946\/3997\/files\/KnivesonRack-Gage-3528.jpg?v=1761191938","url":"https:\/\/shoppa.ca\/products\/makoto-kurosaki-nakiri-165-mm","provider":"Shoppa.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
