The nakiri is the knife that I make the best, or at least I feel that way anyway. For whatever reason I get this design and it comes across when I grind them. Unfortunately it's not super popular but if you've used one you know how awesome they can be.

I dressed this nakiri in some premium two toned amboyna burl from my stash (that's almost gone) along with some killer blond buffalo horn that I scored awhile back. I wanted to use spacers and a pin but didn't want to dress the knife up too much so I went with G10 spacers and a phenolic black pin to subdue the bling. I like the effect and will likely do this again.

*Note - the handle pictures show the colors a bit brighter than they are in real life. It was sunny when I took the pics and they were flooded with light. Refer to the full knife pics for more true to life handle colors.

If you're interested in purchasing the knife please contact via PM or email along with your Paypal email address (for the invoice). If international, please specify country.

Thanks for looking!

Nice looking piece of horn... and the rest of the thingies it's attached to.

 

Thanks Dan!

 

My nakiris are very close to Watanabe's profile, in fact so close that you could say that I patterned mine off of his. That's true too, I did, but then I tweaked the profile to be just a tad smoother in the rocking motion towards the heel. I grind these convex and very thin on the lower half. If you've enjoyed a Watanabe nakiri this will feel very familiar to you.

 

I'm dropping the price on this one just because I need to sell it to pay some bills. $50 reduction!!
