Yoshihiro VG10 Damascus Stainless Steel Nakiri Vegetable Knife 6.5''

Yoshihiro Cutlery, a company specializing in handcrafted premium Japanese kitchen knives, is proud to present the Yoshihiro VG-10 Hammered Damascus Nakiri Japanese Vegetable Knife, made in Japan.

Forged and hammered with 16 layers of steel in the Damascus tradition with a VG10 Core, the VG10 Hammered Damascus Series has been a perennial seller, combining performance, beauty, and extraordinary value. One of the most popular knives that a cook can have today is a Japanese Vegetable knife known as a Nakiri knife.

The Nakiri is a Japanese double-edged knife with a flat cutting edge. The flatness allows for the whole length of the knife to come in contact with the cutting board with each stroke, making it particularly helpful when chopping vegetables, as it eliminates those imperfect cuts where ingredients are hanging by a string.

Reminiscent of a small cleaver, this knife is cherished for its ability to chop through root vegetables and thinly slice delicate tomatoes. From prepping greens for a salad to chopping vegetables for a main dish, the simplest of tasks are elevated with this handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional.

Proudly made in Japan, this knife is complemented with a premium Western-style handle that extends to the full tang and ergonomically welds to the hand for seamless use. The hammered texture of the blade eliminates friction and keeps food from sticking to the blade. Every Yoshihiro knife is handcrafted by master artisans, creating a unique one-of-a-kind work of art.

Traditional Japanese knife-making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones. Hand wash and dry immediately, especially if working with acidic ingredients. Do not use on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods.
