Hitohira Kikuchiyo Ren Silver #3 Nakiri 180mm Ebony Handle

Hand forged by master blacksmith kikuchiyo and subsequently sharpened by a young talented grinder named Ren. Ren is still considered to be an apprentice and his work is therefore sold extraordinarily cheap. Ren’s Sharpening however, is incredibly delicious and you therefore have the opportunity to acquire a world-class knife at a super price. At the same time, you are helping to support Ren's development through his apprenticeship, which we would also like to support. The exceptionally good price will therefore not last either, so buy yours while you can. The core of the knife is in Ginsan 3 (silver#3), distinguished by being both stainless and super easy to sharpen. The steel is hard and it is therefore not recommended to cut hard objects such as cartilage, bones and frozen goods.
