Hotaru Knife Duo (Gyuto & Nakiri)
The two-knife start to the Hotaru line. This duo pairs the workhorse Gyuto with the straight-edge Nakiri, matched in steel, edge and grip. Forged and finished in Seki, Japan.
Features
- The Gyuto's curve covers the rock-chop of onions and herbs, while the Nakiri's flat edge takes push cuts on carrots and cabbage.
- The same 67-fold suminagashi finish runs through both blades, so the pair sits together as one piece.
- One grip standard across the pair: Burl & Resin in an octagonal wa grip, each piece figured a little differently.
- Matched edge geometry carries the feel of one knife straight into the other.
- Weight varies between the two knives, each balanced for its own job at the board.
- Both blades run the same VG-10 heart, hardened to 60 ±2 HRC, so edge retention never dips between them.
Burl & Resin in an octagonal wa grip, warm figuring against the cool Damascus finish.
