The Hitohira Imojiya ST line is one that is not unfamiliar with heavy work. Using VG-10 stainless steel, paired with comfortable western-style handles, these knives are a pleasure to work with and care for. With slightly larger handles and leaning towards the heavier side, these blades naturally introduce themselves to those of us with larger hands. 

Nakiri is a versatile blade that excels in processing large amounts of vegetables and the rectangular shape is also very useful to pick up all the chopped bits!
