{"type":"firestarter.listing","listing":{"id":"lst_SFIi9ptK","product_name":"Yoshimi Kato Minamo SG2 Nakiri","category":"Nakiri Knife","description":"Overview\nThe Yoshimi Kato Minamo SG2 Nakiri is a purpose-built vegetable slicer forged in Echizen’s Takefu Knife Village. “Minamo” means water surface—you’ll see it in the stainless hammered finish that helps shed food and looks incredible under kitchen light. A powdered SG2 (R2) stainless core in a classic san-mai build delivers laser-like sharpness, outstanding edge life, and low-maintenance performance. Our Tokushu Knife edition features a premium carbon-fiber, gold-fleck octagonal wa-handle for excellent balance and a confident, modern grip.\nFlat profile + tall heel = effortless push cuts through onions, squash, and herbs with superb board contact. Precision-ground 50/50 geometry, crisp tip control, and clean laser engraving round out a nakiri that shines for both pros and passionate home cooks.\nCommon Questions\nQ: Is a nakiri only for vegetables?\nA: It’s optimized for vegetables, herbs, and fruit. You can portion boneless proteins gently, but avoid bones, frozen foods, and prying to protect the thin SG2 edge.\nQ: How do I keep the edge popping?\nA: Hand-wash and dry immediately. Touch up between sharpenings on our Tokushu Premium XL Buffalo Strop, and if storing for a while, wipe on a whisper of Tsubaki (camellia) oil. For max edge life, use a soft board like the Hasegawa Pro Cutting Board, or choose our professional sharpening service for dialed-in bite out of the box.\nSpecifications\n\n\nBlacksmith: Yoshimi Kato (Echizen, Japan)\n\nConstruction: San-mai, hammer-forged\n\nCore Steel: SG2 (R2) powdered stainless\n\nCladding Type: Stainless, Minamo hammered finish\n\nBlade Length: 165 mm (edge ~160–165 mm depending on batch)\n\nOverall Length: ~305–310 mm\n\nSpine Thickness (Heel): ~2.0 mm\n\nSpine Thickness (Mid): ~2.0 mm\n\nBlade Height: ~51–52 mm\n\nWeight: ~158–170 g (varies by handle; our carbon-fiber version typically ~150–165 g)\n\nHandle Material: Carbon-fiber composite with gold fleck, octagonal wa-handle\n\nHardness (HRC): 62–63\n\nEdge Geometry: 50/50 double bevel\n\n","images":["https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/yoshimi-kato-minamo-sg2-nakiri-165mm-03_5f8c0ac9-c8c5-45b3-958b-242b998f0114.jpg?v=1780915239","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/yoshimi-kato-minamo-sg2-nakiri-165mm-02_99da5895-a735-4169-81fb-000d74352727.jpg?v=1780915239","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/yoshimi-kato-minamo-sg2-nakiri-165mm-01_3ec00aac-29d4-4a64-9f51-35a7ea8b5f4e.jpg?v=1780915239","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/yoshimi-kato-minamo-sg2-nakiri-165mm-04_c4f9c70c-d3d2-41e5-8058-47873f001714.jpg?v=1780915240"],"price":329,"currency":"USD","in_stock":true,"inventory_qty":9999,"dynamic_pricing":false,"listed_at":"2026-06-18T20:44:30.441Z"},"share_url":"https://firestarter.network/l/lst_SFIi9ptK","purchase":{"summary":"Live product listing on the Firestarter agent commerce network.
