Kyoku Shogun Series Nakiri Knife

A Nakiri knife is specifically designed for chopping, slicing, and dicing vegetables. Its straight blade edge and flat profile allow for clean, vertical cuts through produce without the need for a rocking motion.

VG10 is a high-carbon stainless steel known for its ability to hold a razor-sharp edge for a long time. It provides the hardness required for precision cutting while maintaining enough durability to resist chipping during regular kitchen use.

While the Damascus pattern is visually striking, it serves a functional purpose as well. The layered steel construction helps prevent food from sticking to the blade, allowing for smoother, more efficient slicing.

While the manufacturer states this knife is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing and drying it immediately. High-heat dishwasher cycles and harsh detergents can dull the blade edge and degrade the handle material over time.

G10 is a high-pressure fiberglass laminate that is incredibly durable and moisture-resistant. It provides a secure, ergonomic grip that won't slip, even when your hands are wet or oily.

The knife comes with both a protective sheath and a storage case. Using the sheath is essential for protecting the blade edge from dulling against other utensils, while the case provides a safe, organized way to store the knife in a drawer.
