Sakai Takayuki 45-Layer Damascus Mirrored Japanese 160mm Nakiri Knife

A comfortable classic western handle made of pakka, gives this series a clear identity of its own. Large enough for western hands and ideal in weight. A small piece has been taken out at the end of the handle, especially for the little finger and ring finger. It gives just that little bit of extra hand feeling.

The blade is made out of 45 layers softer stainless steel on the outside and has a core of VG10 steel. The blade is nicely thinned on the cutting edge, making it a joy to use. In practice, this also turns out to maintain easily with a whetstone or fine ceramic steel.

Many chefs are very enthusiastic about this series: a high end performing knife for an affordable price.

The Sakai Takayuki 45-Layer Damascus Mirrored Japanese 160mm Nakiri Knife is a Japanese-style square-tip knife that is great for chopping meat, root vegetables and big prep jobs. Popular alternative to the Santoku. You can recognise a Nakiri by its rectangular blade. The tip of the knife is slightly rounded to make sure you can also quickly cut vegetables from an angle. This is, without a doubt, the knife you use to finely cut carrots, cucumber, cabbage and any other types of vegetables.
