Description
Hand-forged blade by Tadafusa
The Nashiji-Urushi hocho combines traditional Japanese bladesmithing with timeless aesthetics. The blade is forged by the renowned Tadafusa workshop in Sanjo, Japan, and impresses with its functionality and durability. The blade features a Nashiji finish, a technique inspired by the fine, irregular texture of pear skin. This subtly textured surface reduces friction during cutting and helps prevent food from sticking to the blade. The triple-layered blade consists of a cutting core made from Blue Paper Steel (Aogami) hardened to 63 HRC, encased in rustproof outer layers. This combination delivers outstanding cutting performance while making maintenance easier. The knife is fitted with a classic octagonal wa handle, offering excellent ergonomics and control during cutting. It is made from native ash, a particularly robust and resilient hardwood with high impact resistance and a distinctive grain. Finished with two coats of traditional Japanese urushi lacquer, the handle is reliably protected against moisture and dirt and gains a refined, time-honoured surface.
