Our VG-10 Hammered Damascus Nakiri Knife is forged with a traditional straight blade that smoothly cuts paper thin slices and can quickly chop through hearty vegetables. Forged and hammered with 46 layers of steel in the Damascus tradition with a VG-10 Core, this knife is complimented with a traditional Japanese style handcrafted natural Octagonal Ambrosia or Shitan Wood (*Optional).


The Nakiri is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife that is great to have, especially, if you are a lover of soups, salads, herbs, and vegetables. It lends well to chopping and its thin and flat blade edge is designed to make full contact with your cutting surface for a full cut with less chance for vegetables sticking together by a thread.

The blade is forged and hammered with 46 layers of steel in the Damascus tradition with a VG-10 stainless steel Core. The hammered texture adds a visual accent and eliminates friction and keeps food from sticking to the blade. The knife comes complimented with a premium Japanese style handcrafted Octagonal Ambrosia wood (or Shitan wood) handle that ergonomically welds to the hand for seamless use. A protective sheath made out of magnolia wood called a Saya is included, which protects the knife and adds to its appearance when not in use. The quality of the steel together with its expert craftsmanship makes this a professional quality chefs knife with an excellent blend of razor sharpness, durability, and comfort that is unrivaled in its price range.

Japanese knives should always be sharpened and honed on premium quality Japanese water stones. It is the best surface to sharpen and maintain the blade and also the best tool to preserve and take care of the high quality steel that it is made of. Hand wash with mild soap. Do not put in a dishwasher. For maintenance info and professional Japanese knife sharpening contact our Yoshihiro Cutlery store.

Yoshihiro Cutlery is a company specializing in handcrafted premium Japanese kitchen knives. With a history of over 100 years, the Yoshihiro knife brand has been a leading provider of premium kitchen cutlery in Japan. In 2008 we began offering our knives worldwide. Our base of operations is in Beverly Hills, California, where we currently offer over 600 selections of premium Japanese knives to the residents of the greater Los Angeles area and internationally through our online store.

                               

                            

The Japanese culture is an exquisite blend of tradition and innovation and the same holds true for the Yoshihiro Brand. Our selections are far and wide from our Honyaki Knife Series, the purest reflection of the traditional art of Japanese sword making, to the ZDP-189 Chefs Knife Series, a vanguard of modern Japanese cutlery synthesizing cutting edge metallurgy with age old traditional techniques. The Yoshihiro Brand is a culmination of seven centuries of tradition intertwining with modern innovation inspired from Japanese ingenuity.
