Kikuichi Warikomi Elite Damascus Tschime Nakiri Knife

The Nakiri is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife designed with a straight edge and flat profile. It is specifically engineered for efficient, clean chopping and dicing of produce, allowing you to cut all the way through to the board without needing a rocking motion.

The hand-hammered tsuchime finish creates small air pockets between the blade and the food. This reduces surface tension, which helps prevent ingredients from sticking to the knife while you chop.

Yes. While the blade is crafted with traditional Japanese performance standards, it features a Western-style handle. This provides a familiar, ergonomic grip that many home cooks find more comfortable and secure for extended prep work.

Because it features a 50:50 double-bevel, this knife is sharpened similarly to standard Western knives. It is easier to maintain than single-bevel Japanese blades and is suitable for both right- and left-handed users.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. The high-quality steel and Eco wood handle should be hand-washed and dried immediately after use to maintain the integrity of the edge and the handle material.

VG10 is a high-carbon stainless steel known for its fine grain structure, which allows it to hold a very sharp edge for a long time. It provides the perfect balance of hardness for precision cutting and corrosion resistance for daily kitchen use.
