The Hatsukokoro Hikari SLD Damascus Nakiri 160mm is a dedicated vegetable specialist with the same elegant Damascus finish and high-performing SLD core found throughout the Hikari line. Its tall blade and flat profile make it ideal for chopping, push-cutting, and precision prep, offering clean, efficient cuts with excellent control.

The stainless Damascus cladding enhances food release, protects the cutting edge, and delivers the distinctive layered aesthetic that defines the Hikari series. The result is a refined, nimble nakiri that performs beautifully on a wide range of produce.
This knife is a great choice for cooks who lean heavily on vegetables in their daily prep and want a visually striking blade that excels at straight, accurate cuts.
