Haruyuki Mugi Nakiri 165mm
About Haruyuki Mugi - The Haruyuki Mugi is forged from a spectacular modern stainless steel called AUS-8, perfect for folks who want a high performance knife that isn’t too fragile. It gets super sharp and holds an edge very well but isn’t high maintenance the way some traditional Japanese steels are known to be. This means you can get lost in enjoying the cooking process without worrying about washing up right away.
I’m a huge fan of this rough, hammered ‘tsuchime’ finish. It shows the love that goes into making the knife and just looks stunning. The Mugi’s hefty European-style ‘yo handle’ gives it a familiar feel that inspires confidence in those of us who grew up with Western knives. Together, these make for a super handsome knife that I just adore.
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 - A Nakiri is a vegetable knife. Under utilized in the Western kitchen, the Nakiri’s flat blade is meant for the push/pull chopping of vegetables. Since the entire flat edge of the knife kisses the cutting board at once, you wont be turning the vegetable into an accordion. Accordion vegetables are still connected like a paper doll after you're “done” cutting them. To truly understand the awesomeness of a Nakiri we recommend making onion soup your first night with the knife. The ease of chopping will blow you away.
