Knives carrying the Kajibee brand are hand forged and polished by a father and son team led by master smith Kunio Ishikawa in the renowned knife making area of Sanjo. Ishikawa-san chooses to work with only traditional materials like the Aogami #2 used to make these beautiful Nakiri.
These knives from Kajibee are great workhorse knives. They feature a slightly thicker blade with nice geometry meaning while they've got a solid feel in the hand, they still perform well, and leave plenty of room on the bevels to fine tune them to your taste.
These knives have a food safe lacquer over the bevel to keep it from rusting. This will wear off naturally with use. If you'd like to remove it acetone works very well!
Knife Care (Iron Clad)
- This Knife is made from 3 layers of material; A layer of iron on each side protecting a layer of carbon steel at the core, in a process referred to as Sanmai or forge welding. Iron and carbon steel are both susceptible to rust and must be kept dry and clean at all time’s to avoid oxidation and discolouration.
- Simply wipe the knife with a damp cloth immediately after use.
- Wash with regular dish soap and warm water using a none abrasive sponge or cloth.
- Never put your knife in the dishwasher! The extreme heat will ruin the wooden handle.
- Highly acidic ingredients (Onions, Tomatoes, Citrus) Will cause rust and oxidation to happen faster, thus the user must ensure the knife is wiped clean immediately after working with such an ingredient.
- Should any rust form it can be removed using a rust eraser or a mixture of Baking soda and water to simply scrub it clean.
- Avoid Bones, Frozen foods, nuts and hard candies or anything other than fruits, vegetables and proteins.

Veggies and the like beware…!!! This knife is a prep cook’s dream for everything that needs to be chopped, diced, minced, or tortured!! Love the large blade for scooping the quarry into the pan. It’s high blade allows guide fingers to rest easily when chopping..!! What a pleasure to use…

We are vegetarians and spend a lot of time chopping onions, garlic, ginger and fresh herbs to make tofu and beans taste like something we want to eat, this knife makes the task more enjoyable.
