Made In 6.6" Japanese Damascus Steel Nakiri

A precision vegetable knife designed for faster, cleaner prep with minimal effort.

The Made In Japanese Damascus Nakiri is built for cooks who want maximum efficiency when working with vegetables. Forged in Seki, Japan, it features a 6.6-inch rectangular blade with a flat cutting edge designed for clean, vertical push-cuts. This allows the full length of the blade to contact the board, producing uniform slices without the rocking motion required by a traditional chef’s knife.

From finely slicing onions and herbs to breaking down dense vegetables like carrots, cabbage, and potatoes, the Nakiri delivers consistent results with less effort and greater control.

At its core is VG-10 stainless steel, clad in 66 layers of Damascus for a total of 67 layers. Hardened to 60–61 HRC, the blade holds a sharp edge significantly longer than standard stainless steel while maintaining the toughness needed for daily use. The thin blade geometry moves easily through ingredients, while the Damascus finish helps reduce sticking during repetitive prep.

A full-tang construction provides balance and stability, and the moisture-resistant polymer handle is shaped for a secure, comfortable grip during extended use.
