Nagomi Offset Serrated Knife

Mitsuboshi Cutlery Company’s—located in Seki, Japan, a city known for its cutlery-making history—exceptionally beautiful Nagomi knife line is a testament to the Seki community’s meticulous craftsmanship. Each Nagomi knife is made by multiple local artisans coming together to shepherd each blade through a rigorous five-step process: pressing, hardening, tempering and quenching, handle polishing and grinding. The resulting steel blade has an impressive hardness rating of 58, signifying superior edge retention and performance. And each knife’s handle is made from beautifully polished pakkawood, offering both style and comfort in every grip.

Need further proof that Mitsuboshi is dedicated to craftsmanship? To put their commitment to quality in action, the company produces only 20 knives a day, ensuring each one is built to last. The Nagomi Cake Knife is one of the most unique we’ve tried: The offset serrated knife will easily cut through soft, fluffy desserts without destroying their shape. The offset angle provides leverage and keeps your hand away from the cake or pastry surface as the knife comes down, and the tapered blade limits the surface area that comes in contact with your dessert, resulting in cleaner slices.
