Tojiro Classic Damascus Japanese Nakiri knife, 16.5 cm blade

The NAKIRI: The Japanese Nakiri knife features a tall, fully rectangular blade distinctly Japanese in shape and style with a blunt tip and a length typically ranging from 17 to 19 cm. Additionally, the cutting edge is usually perfectly parallel to the spine of the blade.
Often referred to simply as a "vegetable knife" due to its height, the blade can function like a spatula, allowing you to easily transfer sliced ​​food from the cutting board to a container.

It features a blade with a VG10 stainless steel core (enriched with cobalt and carbon). This core is clad in 36 layers of alternating soft and hard stainless steel (18 layers on each side) to create the marbled surface pattern.
A razor-sharp blade.

The handle is made of reinforced laminated composite wood (wood fibers infused with phenolic resin under high pressure), making it resistant to water and temperature fluctuations.

A full-tang knife (the blade steel extends the entire length of the handle and is secured by three stainless steel rivets).
A forged stainless steel bolster ensures a seamless, watertight seal between the blade and the handle, preventing dirt or juices from seeping in and ensuring perfect hygiene.

To maintain your Japanese knives, hand-washing is recommended; try to keep the handle dry. Avoid abrasive sponges; simply wipe with a clean, dry cloth, and your knife will look brand new.
Do not use a dishwasher if you want your knives to last.
