{"type":"firestarter.listing","listing":{"id":"lst_7m0JurGD","product_name":"Yu Kurosaki Senko Ei Sg2 Ei Nakiri 165mm","category":"Nakiri Knife","description":"Overview\nMeet the Yu Kurosaki Senko SG2 Ei Nakiri 165mm—a compact vegetable specialist forged in Echizen, Japan. “Senko” means “flash,” and the blade’s signature star-like tsuchime texture catches light like sparks off the anvil. The Ei geometry adds a subtly more pointed profile at the tip, giving you extra precision for detail work while keeping the classic flat edge that makes nakiri chopping so clean and efficient.\nBuilt around an SG2 (R2) powdered stainless core and clad in stainless steel, this nakiri pairs long-lasting sharpness with low-maintenance care. A 50/50 grind, thin spine, and tall blade provide confident push and pull cuts through pile after pile of produce—think straight, even slices and fewer “accordion” onions.\nCommon Questions\nQ: Is this nakiri good for home cooks?\nA: Absolutely. At 165mm and ~125g, it’s nimble, well-balanced, and easy to control. The stainless core and cladding make daily care simple—wash, dry, and put away.\nQ: What’s different about the “Ei” version?\nA: “Ei” denotes a slightly more pointed tip and refined geometry. You still get the flat nakiri edge for chopping, plus improved tip access for fine tasks like trimming stems or scoring veggies.\nQ: How do I care for SG2 stainless?\nA: Treat it like any premium stainless: avoid bones, pits, or frozen foods; use a wood or quality plastic board; hand-wash and dry immediately. Sharpen on water stones as needed to keep that laser feel.\nSpecifications\n\n\nBrand/Blacksmith: Yu Kurosaki\n\nLocation: Echizen, Japan\n\nLine: Senko Ei\n\nShape: Nakiri\n\nConstruction: San Mai laminate\n\nCore Steel: R2/SG2\n\nCladding Type: Stainless steel\n\nGrind: 50/50\n\nFinish: Tsuchime (Senko “flash” pattern)\n\nBlade Length: 165mm\n\nSpine Thickness (Heel): 2.0mm\n\nBlade Height: 51mm\n\nWeight: 125g\n\nHandle Material: Rosewood Octogon\n\nHardness (HRC): 63\n\n ","images":["https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/yu-kurosaki-senko-ei-nakiri-sg2-165mm-01.jpg?v=1761165296","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/yu-kurosaki-senko-ei-nakiri-sg2-165mm-02.jpg?v=1761165296","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/yu-kurosaki-senko-ei-nakiri-sg2-165mm-03.jpg?v=1761165296"],"price":269,"currency":"USD","in_stock":true,"inventory_qty":9999,"dynamic_pricing":false,"listed_at":"2026-06-18T20:44:31.412Z"},"share_url":"https://firestarter.network/l/lst_7m0JurGD","purchase":{"summary":"Live product listing on the Firestarter agent commerce network.
