Nissan Builds the Dynamic Z NISMO Precision Sushi Knife
References: yankodesign
Nissan works in collaboration with sushi chef Hiro Terada on the special Z NISMO Precision Sushi Knife. It measures about 8.27 inches in length and is crafted in a kiritsuke style. The design is by Satoshi Kiryu and the result reflects a concept car that is rare and meticulously detailed.
The knife's blade is a double-beveled stainless steel complete with a black oxide 'kuro zome' coating. There is a sleek and stealthy design language that has a slight taper at the edge. The handle is made from buffalo horn and then detailed by a red spacer -- this is specifically meant to reflect the detail on the Z NISMO aerodynamic trim. It is highly exclusive as only 240 units were made.
