Description
The RÈN Genbu 玄武 Ginsan Nashiji Nakiri 165mm is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife crafted for precision, efficiency, and elegant everyday performance. Inspired by Genbu (玄武) — the legendary Black Tortoise symbolizing resilience, stability, and quiet strength — this knife reflects a refined balance between traditional craftsmanship and practical modern usability.
Forged with a premium Ginsan (Silver 3) stainless steel core, the blade offers exceptional sharpness, smooth cutting performance, excellent edge retention, and reliable corrosion resistance. Highly appreciated for delivering a carbon steel-like cutting feel with the convenience of stainless maintenance, Ginsan steel is a favorite among chefs who value both performance and ease of care.
The blade features a classic Nashiji finish, giving it a subtle textured pear-skin appearance that enhances its handcrafted Japanese aesthetic while also helping reduce food sticking during preparation. The rustic finish pairs beautifully with the clean, functional profile of the Nakiri.
Designed specifically for vegetable preparation, the 165mm Nakiri profile features a tall, straight-edged blade ideal for clean push cuts, chopping, slicing, and precise vegetable work. Its flat edge allows full contact with the cutting board, making it highly efficient for fast and consistent prep work in both professional and home kitchens.
Completing the knife is a premium Sandalwood handle, fitted with a traditional buffalo horn ferrule and accented by a refined copper ring, bringing warmth, balance, and understated luxury to the overall design.
The RÈN Genbu 玄武 Ginsan Nashiji Nakiri 165mm is a sophisticated vegetable knife that combines timeless Japanese craftsmanship with effortless cutting precision and elegant aesthetics.
