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

Our VG-10 Hammered Damascus Nakiri Knife is meticulously crafted with a traditional straight blade, allowing you to achieve paper-thin slices and effortlessly chop through hearty vegetables. Forged and hammered with 46 layers of steel in the Damascus tradition, this knife features a VG-10 core, known for its exceptional edge retention and durability. The blade is complemented by a premium handcrafted Octagonal Ambrosia Wood handle, designed to provide both beauty and a secure, comfortable grip.

The Nakiri is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife that is an absolute must-have for anyone who loves working with vegetables, whether you’re prepping ingredients for soups, salads, or herbs. Its thin, flat blade edge ensures full contact with the cutting surface for a clean, complete cut, minimizing the chance for vegetables to stick together. This makes it perfect for precise tasks such as chopping root vegetables and slicing delicate tomatoes.

The hammered texture of the blade not only adds a striking visual accent but also reduces friction, preventing food from sticking. The Octagonal Ambrosia Wood handle offers superior comfort and control, ergonomically designed to fit the hand for seamless use. Additionally, a Saya made from magnolia wood is included, protecting the blade when not in use and adding to the knife’s elegant appearance.

Combining razor-sharp performance, superior craftsmanship, and unmatched durability, the VG-10 Hammered Damascus Nakiri Knife is a professional-grade chef’s tool that delivers top-tier performance. Its premium steel and fine craftsmanship ensure it stands out as a high-value option in its price range. To preserve its sharp edge, always sharpen and hone with premium Japanese water stones, the ideal surface for maintaining the blade’s quality. Hand wash with mild soap and avoid the dishwasher for long-lasting durability. For expert maintenance or sharpening, contact Yoshihiro Cutlery for professional services.
