Kikuichi GN Series Ginsan Nashiji Gyuto (GN240)

Made in Sakai Japan

Nashiji (pear skin)

The GN Series is a perfect example of the Japanese design philosophy shibui, a balance of simplicity and complexity.  Adorned with a Nashiji (pear skin) finish, the 3-layer blade with a Ginsan (Silver-3) core is thin, strong, and precise; and the octagonal burnished oak handle provides a comfortable grip.

Hand engraved with the Kikuichi chrysanthemum logo.

Care:

Hand-wash stainless steel knives immediately after use with warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly with a towel right away to prevent water spots and corrosion — do not air dry. Never place them in the dishwasher, as high heat and detergents ruin the edge and handle. Store securely in a knife block, magnetic strip, or sheath

Maintenance: Use wooden or plastic cutting boards; avoid glass, granite, steel, and bamboo. Use a ceramic honing rod regularly to maintain the edge.

Do not use for cutting bones, frozen food, or extremely hard items to avoid chipping.
