The Tojiro Sakuya Nakiri combines traditional Japanese design with a sleek, modern aesthetic. Crafted with a VG10 stainless steel core and layered Damascus cladding, it offers superb edge retention, durability, and rust resistance—ideal for precise vegetable prep.
Its striking Jet-Black Damascus finish, created through electrolytic coloring, sets it apart visually. The dark blade evokes the “new moon,” while the polished edge reflects the “crescent moon.” Finished with an octagonal ebony wood handle, this knife is as functional as it is elegant.
Care & Maintenance: To preserve the beauty and performance of your Sakuya Nakiri, we recommend hand washing and drying immediately after use. Avoid soaking or using abrasive scrubbers. Regular honing will maintain its edge, and occasional stropping will enhance sharpness and polish. Store in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to protect the blade and tip.
