NOTE:
* According to Nenohi Cutlery even though the bevel angle is 55:45 it can still be used by lefties.
However, you can easily sharpen it to 45:55 for optimum use. This knife is made honyaki style, with one piece of high carbon steel, and with a 55/45 edge, it can easily be sharpened to suit your preference, whether you are right or left handed. The SD series is top of the Nenohi line, and has an even more ductile blade than the G-type series, meaning that it is even more durable. The composite DuPont™ Corian® handle offers a comfortable grip, and is heat-resistant, nontoxic and resists the growth of bacteria.
