About Haruyuki Nagisa – High performance, low maintenance.

The Haruyuki Nagisa is forged from a modern high-tech stainless steel called AUS-10, and Im a huge fan. It can take and hold an edge, much like traditional Japanese carbon steel, without being a rusty pain in the butt!

This stunning blade sports a hammered tsuchime finish that transitions to a polished bevel with layers of damascus steel. The word Nagisa refers to the point where waves crash onto the beach, inspired by the intersection of the damascus and tsuchime patterns. I love this Japanese wa handle because it focuses all of the knifes weight into the blade. This lets it do more of the work for you, so slicing up a pile of veggies feels like no big deal.

Haruyuki knives are made in a way that combines ancient Japanese tradition with efficient modern technology: blades are forged by machine for unparalleled precision, consistency, and affordability. Skilled artisans complete each step lovingly, from polishing and sharpening the blade to affixing its handle.
