Combining excellent grinds, impeccably treated VG10 core stainless steel and a beautiful Suminagashi finish, the TOJIRO BASIC VG10 DAMASCUS line of knives offered here is a phenomenal value. It is hard to find this much performance in a kitchen knife at such a low price point and, as such, we highly recommend this line of knives for those taking their first foray into the world of high-performance Japanese steel.
TOJIRO's Damascus nakiri in 165mm format is a wonderful hybrid knife combining the features of a usuba and small cleaver. This knife is a vegetable cutting machine and can also be applied in most tasks that one would traditionally use a chef's knife to accomplish. This pattern is very accessible and quite popular amongst home cooks.Maker: TOJIRO
