This traditional Japanese knife resembles a small cleaver but is not intended for heavy-duty or impact cutting. Its thin, flat-edged blade is designed specifically for straight downward motions, excelling at chopping and slicing vegetables cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted from High Performance SLD steel, this knife represents a new generation of materials engineered in Japan to exceed the capabilities of traditional metals. Known for its excellent wear resistance, SLD steel offers hardness comparable to blue high carbon steel, along with improved stain resistance. This combination provides a knife that stays sharp for extended use while being easier to maintain. The Damascus layering process, with 33 to 35 layers, enhances both the blade’s visual appeal and its functional strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nakiri’s thin, refined blade glides effortlessly through food with minimal resistance, used for precision cuts rather than forceful chopping. It is not recommended for cutting through bones, frozen foods, or hard materials. The mirror finish adds elegance while making cleaning simple and efficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaired with a handcrafted octagonal Ironwood handle, the Nakiri offers comfort for both left- and right-handed users. An optional Magnolia wood Saya cover provides safe storage. Perfect for daily vegetable prep, this handcrafted Nakiri knife turns slicing, dicing, and chopping fresh produce into an enjoyable, artful experience—balancing performance, beauty, and care in every detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"specs\" class=\"tab-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKnife Specs:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHRC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 63-64\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kurouchi Black-Forged Damascus SLD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStain Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e High Performance SLD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double Edged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ironwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolster Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water Buffalo Horn (color varies)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagonal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaya Cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e Optional: Magnolia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","offers":[{"title":"7\" (180mm) \/ No Cover","offer_id":45381589237990,"sku":"DMKUNA180IH","price":429.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7\" (180mm) \/ With Saya Cover","offer_id":44221954031846,"sku":"DMKUNA180IHMS","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/files\/yoshihiro-black-forged-high-performance-sld-damascus-steel-masashi-nakiri-vegetable-knife-ironwood-handle-PT011.jpg?v=1753476098","url":"https:\/\/echefknifv.com\/products\/yoshihiro-black-forged-high-performance-sld-damascus-steel-nakiri-vegetable-knife-ironwood-handle","provider":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
