Product detailed description
Nakiri knives are unique and high quality Japanese knives that impress not only with their precise workmanship, but also with their elegant design. One of the most striking features of these knives is the beautiful damascus blade, which combines the durability of stainless steel with the excellent cutting core of VG-10.
The damascus blade consists of multiple layers of steel that are carefully joined and shaped into a unique pattern. This pattern not only increases the durability of the blade, but also provides an aesthetic element that is characteristic of Japanese knives. The VG-10 cutting core then provides an excellent edge that maintains for a long time.
The small slender handle is another important feature of the nakiri knife. It is meticulously polished, which not only gives the knife an elegant look, but also ensures a comfortable grip. The handle is designed to be well-balanced and comfortable in the hand, allowing for easy handling of the knife during food preparation.
The half-tang construction and stainless steel non-welded bolster contribute to the overall stability of the knife. The half tang means that the blade only partially extends into the handle, allowing for easier and more comfortable handling of the knife. The non-welded bolster provides additional support and protection when cutting.
This nakiri knife is designed with luxury home use in mind. They are ideal for those who value quality, precision craftsmanship and aesthetics in food preparation. Each knife can have individual differences in the damask pattern, adding a unique character to each piece.

Amazing knives with a history spanning more than eight hundred years originate from a place where craftsmanship has been refined through countless generations. Seki, widely known as the City of Blades, concentrates an exceptional number of Japanese swordsmiths and knifemakers. Tradition remains alive, evolving naturally while preserving the core principles of classical Japanese sword making. Each knife reflects manual skill, deep knowledge of steel, and respect for materials, clearly noticeable from the first cut.
VG-10 steel has earned its reputation through a balanced composition that supports long-lasting sharpness, structural stability, and an extremely fine edge. The blade responds precisely to careful grinding, delivering aggressive yet controlled cutting performance. The result offers remarkable sharpness combined with reliability, suitable for demanding kitchen tasks as well as intensive everyday use.
Production in Seki blends historic forging methods with modern control of heat treatment and steel structure. Every step focuses on performance, balance, and durability rather than superficial perfection. Japanese knives from this region have gained global recognition for their elegance, extreme sharpness, and technical sophistication, all grounded in authentic craftsmanship. Made in Japan here signals origin, heritage, and a serious commitment to quality.
