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.

*CAUTION - rinse knives under running water, and dry by hand - do not put in dishwasher. Wood handles expand and warp with prolonged exposure to moisture (do not leave knives soaking). If knives are left uncleaned for longer periods of time with saliferous or acidic leftovers on them, stains can develop.
