Common Questions

Q: Is SG2 steel rust-proof?

A: SG2 is a stainless steel, which greatly reduces rust concerns. A quick rinse and thorough drying after use will keep your blade pristine.

Q: Do I need to install a handle, or can I use the knife right away?

A: This knife comes without a handle, so you will need to install one or have it professionally fitted. Tokushu Knife offers custom handle services and recommendations.

Q: What makes a kiritsuke nakiri different from a standard nakiri?

A: The kiritsuke nakiri retains a tall blade height for chopping, but features a k-tip (kiritsuke tip) for more precise, intricate cuts—offering extra versatility in the kitchen.
