Tetsuhiro Nakiri Kitchen Knife - 160mm

This Nakiri kitchen knife is one of the most popular shapes in Japan and is fast becoming well known in Australia. This knife is perfect for cutting vegetables, fruit, breads, cured meats and is so versatile and useful that it is sure to be picked up several times a day.

The knife is made with VG10 stainless steel clad with a Damascus pattern stainless. It has a very fine blade and holds its edge beautifully. Unlike high carbon steel Japanese kitchen knives, this knife does not need to be dried off immediately after use as it will not rust. We recommend maintaining the edge of the blade with waterstones or diamond stones - view our ranges here.

To ensure the longest possible life for your knife we recommend hand washing and drying after use, though the timeframe is not crucial. If you interested in the basic metallurgy of your blade, we have written up a guide to our stainless steel Japanese knives which can be read here.
