The Tsunehisa VG10 Hammered Damascus Nakiri 165mm is a beautifully crafted vegetable knife that combines eye-catching design with reliable stainless steel performance. Made in Tosa, Japan, this knife features a VG10 stainless steel core, well known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ability to take a very sharp edge. It’s a great choice for cooks who want high performance with low maintenance.
The blade is clad in stainless steel with a hammered (tsuchime) and Damascus (suminagashi) finish that not only looks great but also helps reduce food sticking during use. The nakiri profile features a flat edge ideal for push cutting and chopping vegetables with precision and efficiency. The grind is even for comfortable use by both right- and left-handed users. A comfortable oval sandalwood handle with a black pakka wood ferrule completes the knife, and the gapped machi (Tokyo style) adds a traditional touch.
