Yoshihiro VG10 6.5" Damascus Nakiri Knife

VG10 Hammered Damascus Nakiri Knife

Forge-Traded and Handcrafted

Forged and hammered with 16 layers of steel in the Damascus tradition, the VG10 Nakiri knife from Yoshihiro is a time-honored classic, combining exceptional performance, stunning beauty, and extraordinary value.

Perfect for the Modern Chef

One of the most sought-after knives for any cook, the Nakiri is a double-edged, Japanese vegetable knife. Its flat cutting edge ensures the entire length of the blade touches the cutting board with each stroke, making it ideal for chopping vegetables. Unlike other knives, the Nakiri’s flat edge eliminates those frustrating perfect cuts that hang by a thread.

Versatile and Durable Performance

Reminiscent of a small cleaver, this knife excels at chopping root vegetables and slicing delicate tomatoes. Whether you're prepping greens for a salad or chopping vegetables for a main dish, this handcrafted knife elevates the simplest of tasks. Its unique design and precision cutting make every meal prep a joy.

Ergonomic and Durable Handle

Proudly made in Japan, this knife is complemented by a premium Western-style handle that extends to the full tang, ergonomically fitting seamlessly into your hand. The hammered texture of the blade reduces friction and ensures food does not stick. Each slice and chop is cleaner and crisper, thanks to the artisan's touch.

Artisan Craftsmanship

Every knife by Yoshihiro is handcrafted by master artisans, creating a unique work of art. The careful attention to detail ensures each blade is not only functional but also beautifully crafted.

Maintenance and Care

Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires meticulous care. For best results, use only water whetstones for sharpening and honing. Hand wash and dry immediately, especially when working with acidic ingredients. Avoid using the knife on bones, nutshells, or frozen foods.
