Our VG-10 Hammered Damascus Nakiri Knife is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife designed to handle both delicate tasks and hearty vegetables with ease. Forged and hammered with 46 layers of steel in the Damascus tradition, it features a VG-10 core renowned for its durability and edge retention.

The hammered texture not only enhances the knife's aesthetic but also reduces friction, keeping food from sticking to the blade and ensuring a smooth, clean cut every time.

The knife comes with a premium handcrafted Octagonal Shitan Rosewood handle, which ergonomically molds to your hand, providing a secure, comfortable grip for prolonged use. A magnolia wood Saya sheath is included, offering protection and adding to the knife's elegant appearance when not in use.
