Nagomi Peeling 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. Short and tall, the blade of Nagomi’s Peeling Knife is one of our go-to picks for breezing through prepping shallots and garlic. The blade’s subtle curve is fantastic for handwork tasks, like peeling apples or hulling strawberries, while our hands sit securely and comfortably on the handle.
