Kasumi Tora 165mm (6.5″) Nakiri Daido 1K6 Stabilized Black Magnolia
The Kasumi Tora 165mm (6.5″) Nakiri in Stabilized Black Magnolia is a traditional Japanese butcher’s knife, expertly crafted using a 780-year-old sword-forging tradition.

Forged from Daido 1K6 Molybdenum Vanadium stainless steel, this high-carbon alloy offers reliable edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening, making it ideal for both aspiring professionals and serious home cooks. The steel’s fine grain structure allows for easy honing and smooth stone sharpening—perfect for users learning to maintain their own blades.
The handle is made from stabilized magnolia wood with a black plastic ferrule, delivering a lightweight, balanced feel with a classic Japanese aesthetic. Comfortable for extended prep work, it’s an accessible step into premium Japanese cutlery.
