Yoshihiro VG-10 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Nakiri Japanese Vegetable Knife (6.5'' (165mm)) (Rosewood Handle)

Our VG-10 Hammered Damascus Nakiri Knife is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife designed to handle both delicate tasks and hearty vegetables with ease. Forged and hammered with 46 layers of steel in the Damascus tradition, it features a VG-10 core renowned for its durability and edge retention. This knife excels at creating paper-thin slices and effortlessly chopping through dense root vegetables. The hammered texture not only enhances the knife’s aesthetic but also reduces friction, keeping food from sticking to the blade and ensuring a smooth, clean cut every time.

The Nakiri is an essential tool for those who love working with vegetables in the kitchen. Its thin, flat blade edge is designed to make full contact with the cutting surface, allowing for a complete cut without vegetables sticking together, making it ideal for tasks like chopping herbs, slicing tomatoes, or prepping ingredients for soups and salads. The knife comes with a premium handcrafted Octagonal Shitan Rosewood handle, which ergonomically molds to your hand, providing a secure, comfortable grip for prolonged use. A magnolia wood Saya sheath is included, offering protection and adding to the knife's elegant appearance when not in use.

The VG-10 Hammered Damascus Nakiri Knife combines razor-sharp performance, exceptional durability, and comfort to create a professional-grade chef's tool that stands out in its price range. Its high-quality steel and meticulous craftsmanship ensure that it can withstand even the most demanding kitchen tasks. For maintenance, always sharpen and hone with premium Japanese water stones to preserve the integrity of the blade. Hand wash with mild soap and avoid the dishwasher to ensure the longevity of your knife. For sharpening or maintenance services, please contact Yoshihiro Cutlery for expert guidance.
