Hallo liebe Messerforumteilnehmer,
ich verfolge diesen Beitrag seit einiger Zeit und möchte ein wenig zur Aufklärung beitragen, ob es sich bei dem Kanetsune Nakiri um ein maschinell oder handgefertigtes Messer handelt.
Also ein nettes email an die Kitasho Ltd. (Kanetsune) abgesetzt:

Dear Sir or Madame,
I'm very interested in you products especially the Chef Knive KC421 and the other knives from the KC400 series. I do have some questions regarding these knives which I hope you can answer. Are these knives handmade or industrial manufactured? Is the bolster of these knives made of buffalo horn? Thank you for support in advance
Best Regards
Elvis ... Germany

Dear Elvis ...,
Thank you for your inquiry just given.
For answering your question, the bolster is made of Ebony wood.
These kitchen knives are manufactured in a small facility where some
skillful workers are working on these knives.
The process of making knives requires a lot of hand-work, so we prefer
not to categorize them as a factory made knives.
Kindest regards,

Naja, die Beschreibung a lot of hand-work kann alles oder auch nichts bedeuten, daher wird noch mal nachgebohrt:

Dear Mr. Ken Matsumoto,
thank you for your quick reply on my questions regarding the
Knives of the KC400 series. Sorry for misunderstanding. I do not question that a lot of handwork is required. I should have been more precise on my question of manufacturing. Are these knives forged manually?
Thank you for your kind patience and support.
Kind Regards
Elvis ... Germany
