【Beauty and Comfort in Every Slice】Sakai Takayuki 33-Layer Hammered Damascus Nakiri (Vegetable Knife) 160mm

Usage (Nakiri 160mm): The Nakiri is a traditional Japanese knife dedicated to vegetables. Its straight, wide blade ensures stable contact with the cutting board, making tasks like finely shredding cabbage, "Katsuramuki" (rotary peeling) of radishes, or chopping Chinese cabbage effortless and precise. The nimble 160mm size fits any workspace. Its wide profile also allows it to double as a spatula to scoop up chopped ingredients and transfer them to the pot—a powerful ally for any home cook.

Handle (Mahogany): The handle is crafted from Mahogany, a premium wood prized for high-end furniture and musical instruments. Its beautiful reddish-brown hue exudes a unique presence, blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with Western sophistication. Highly durable and water-resistant, its warm texture conforms to your hand with use, transforming daily meal prep into a more comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Blade Material: The core is forged from high-grade VG-10 stainless steel, achieving a razor-sharp edge that slices through vegetable cells without crushing them, combined with excellent rust resistance for easy maintenance. The 33-layer Damascus pattern flowing across the blade, paired with the classic mahogany handle, creates an artistic beauty that looks stunning just sitting in your kitchen.

Finish (Tsuchime - Hammered): The blade surface features a "Tsuchime" (hammered) finish, created by the artisan’s hammer. These unique indentations create air pockets between the steel and the food, eliminating the stress of juicy vegetables like cucumbers or potatoes sticking to the blade. This allows for a rhythmic, resistance-free motion, making tasks like julienning surprisingly fast and efficient.

"Crispy Texture is the Mark of Careful Craftsmanship." Make the vegetable dishes essential to your daily table more enjoyable and delicious. Designed for those who value a healthy lifestyle, this knife will help you rediscover the joy of preparing vegetables.
