Yoshihiro Stainless Clad Nashiji Ginsan High Carbon Stain Resistant Steel Nakiri Vegetable Knife

Crafted by our expert artisans, Yoshihiro’s Nashiji Stainless Clad Ginsan knives represent the pinnacle of Japanese knife-making. Forged from Ginsan steel, these knives seamlessly blend traditional craftsmanship with modern metallurgical advancements, incorporating high-carbon elements with stainless properties. With a Rockwell hardness of 61-62, they combine the edge retention and sharpness of traditional Japanese high-carbon knives with the stain resistance of stainless steel—a rare and valuable fusion that provides peace of mind for chefs in busy kitchens.

Our Nashiji Stainless Clad Ginsan series is meticulously forged with stainless steel cladding, creating a stunning Nashiji finish that adds a rustic, textured look to the blade. Each knife is paired with a handcrafted Black-Blue Pakkawood full-tang handle, secured by three stainless steel rivets for an exceptional grip that’s both durable and comfortable. We highly recommend pairing this knife with an optional saya sheath for added protection and elegance, making it an ideal choice for chefs seeking a high-performance knife that withstands long hours without dulling or staining.

For those passionate about vegetable prep, the Nakiri knife is a must-have in the kitchen. Known as a Japanese vegetable knife, the Nakiri features a double-edged, flat cutting edge, allowing the entire blade to make contact with the cutting board on each stroke. This design ensures clean, complete cuts without leaving ingredients partially attached. Resembling a small cleaver, the Nakiri excels at slicing through tough root vegetables while also handling delicate tasks like thinly slicing tomatoes. From chopping greens for salads to preparing vegetables for main dishes, this handcrafted Nakiri knife elevates even the simplest of tasks, combining beauty with unmatched functionality to make every meal prep a pleasure.
