With an HRC rating that is neither too high nor too low, this stainless steel knife can be easily sharpened not only with a whetstone but also with a simple sharpener or honing rod. Its ease of sharpening allows those accustomed to using whetstones to customize the blade edge, such as converting it from double-beveled to single-beveled. In addition to its excellent maintenance properties, the rust-resistant blade material and the durable, bolstered handle make this knife exceptionally easy to handle. Please note that this knife was shipped directly from the manufacturer to me, so it does not come with the typical rectangular box often seen with other knives. Instead, it includes the black sheath shown in the second-to-last photo. ・What are the meanings of the characters on the blades? Five characters are written on the right side of the blade. The first two characters mean 'Noshu,' which is the old name of Gifu Prefecture, where Seki City, where this knife was manufactured, is located. The next two characters mean 'Magoroku,' the name of a swordsmith who used to live in Seki City in the past. The last character means 'work.' The sticker on the handle means 'Nakiri. ・What is Satake? This company was founded in 1947 in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture. Those familiar with Japanese knives might associate the name Satake with affordable products. However, they also produce high-end knives that can cost several thousand dollars each. These knives are made to order, so they are rarely seen on the market. In my experience, their knives, regardless of price, tend to excel in ease of maintenance. ・Who I would recommend this knife to. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a stainless steel Nakiri knife that excels in both ease of maintenance and handling. This knife can be easily sharpened not only with a whetstone but also with a simple sharpener or honing rod. ■About me■I am a Japanese living in Tokyo and I love to cook. I sell only real items.
