The Story
About Haruyuki Nagisa - High performance, low maintenance.
The Haruyuki Nagisa is forged from a modern high-tech stainless steel called AUS-10, and Iām a huge fan. It can take and hold an edge, much like traditional Japanese carbon steel, without being a rusty pain in the butt!Ā
This stunning blade sports a hammered ātsuchimeā finish that transitions to a polished bevel with layers of damascus steel. The word āNagisaā refers to the point where waves crash onto the beach, inspired by the intersection of the damascus and tsuchime patterns. I love this Japanese āwa handleā because it focuses all of the knifeās weight into the blade. This lets it do more of the work for you, so slicing up a pile of veggies feels like no big deal.
Haruyuki knives are made in a way that combines ancient Japanese tradition with efficient modern technology: blades are forged by machine for unparalleled precision, consistency, and affordability. Skilled artisans complete each step lovingly, from polishing and sharpening the blade to affixing its handle.
About the Shape - This is also a multi purpose knife, but with a slight vegetable bias. Santoku means 'Three Virtues' or 'To solve Three Problems'. The virtues or problems are slicing, dicing and mincing. Santoku is usually found in 160 mm ā 190 mm lengths. These are more and more popular in Western kitchens due to the unique shape and smaller easy to handle size.
