The Sakai Takayuki 33-Layer Damascus series offers genuine quality at an exceptional value. This nakiri is expertly forged with a VG-10 core steel and enveloped in 33 layers of stainless Damascus, carrying a hardness rating of 60-61 HRC that ensures outstanding durability, prolonged edge retention, and straightforward sharpening on water stones.
The tsuchime (hammered) finish gives the blade real aesthetic appeal while also serving a practical purpose, reducing food adhesion for a smoother cutting experience through stacks of vegetables. The flat profile and squared tip give this nakiri the precision and board contact that vegetable prep demands. The handle octagonal design is meticulously crafted from walnut and black pakka wood, blending form with function for a comfortable, secure grip.
Care Instructions: VG-10 is a fully stainless steel - low maintenance and resistant to corrosion. Hand wash and dry after each use. Avoid the dishwasher. Sharpen on quality water stones as needed.
