Origin, Steel & Construction.
At its core is aus10 stainless steel, a Japanese favorite known for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy sharpening. That aus10 core is wrapped in 67 layers of stainless Damascus cladding, creating both visual depth and added toughness through traditional san-mai construction.
The result is a knife that holds a keen edge, resists rust, and still feels lively and responsive on the board.
Craftsmanship & Use
Nakiri knives are purpose-built for vegetables, and this one absolutely leans into that role.
The tall blade profile gives you:
tons of knuckle clearance
clean push cuts
At 170g, it lands right in the sweet spot: substantial enough to feel planted, light enough for long prep sessions. The flat edge makes quick work of onions, cabbage, squash, herbs — anything that lives on a cutting board.
The resin handle adds durability and moisture resistance while keeping the overall look modern and approachable.
This is a great choice for:
home cooks upgrading from German-style knives
veggie-forward kitchens
anyone wanting their first Damascus Japanese blade
Summary
A 180mm aus10 Damascus nakiri made in Seki, Japan, featuring 67-layer san-mai construction and a durable resin handle. Sharp, stainless, visually striking, and extremely practical — a workhorse vegetable knife with just enough flash.
