This nakiri is forged from AUS10 stainless steel, similar in character to AEB-L, and wrapped in the gorgeous polished Damascus cladding the Tsunehisa Nami line is known for. Nakiris are general-purpose knives and one of the most popular shapes among Japanese home cooks - easy to handle and genuinely responsive in the cut, with the flat profile and squared tip giving this nakiri the precision vegetable work demands. The Damascus cladding is genuinely stunning - the high polish and bold pattern, combined with the octagonal oak handle, make this knife stand out anywhere it goes.
What Customers Are Saying: One reviewer, on his first foray into Japanese knives, calls the stainless Damascus pattern absolutely gorgeous, praising the distinct line between the san mai cladding and the harder edge steel. Straight out of the box he was slicing cherry tomatoes thin enough to read newsprint through, and considers it a beautiful, precise piece of craftsmanship.
Care Instructions: AUS10 is a stainless steel - low maintenance and resistant to corrosion. Hand wash and dry after each use. Avoid the dishwasher, bones, frozen foods, and hard materials. Sharpen on quality water stones and strop regularly between full sharpenings.

The stainless Damascus pattern is absolutely gorgeous! The line between the San Mia and the harder edge is very distinct and looks awesome! This is my first Foyer into Japanese knives, and directly out of the box I was slicing cherry tomatoes so thin I can read news print through them. Absolutely beautiful and precise pice of craftsmanship.
