The TOJIRO BASIC DAMASCUS Nakiri 165mm combines excellent grind quality, well-treated VG10 stainless steel, and an eye-catching suminagashi finish into a knife that delivers outstanding performance for the price. The VG10 core takes a sharp, refined edge and holds it well, while the stainless Damascus cladding adds durability along with a distinctive layered look.
This 165mm nakiri is a highly effective vegetable knife, blending elements of a traditional usuba and a small cleaver. The tall blade and flat edge profile make it ideal for chopping, push cutting, and processing larger volumes of produce with ease. It’s also versatile enough to handle many general kitchen tasks, making it a popular and accessible choice for home cooks.
Care Instructions: Hand wash and dry immediately after use. Do not use on hard items like bones or frozen foods. Use a quality whetstone for sharpening and avoid dishwashers to preserve edge life and handle condition.
