The Nakiri Damascus VG10 with Ebony Wood Handle is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife made for fast, precise prep. Its VG10 stainless-steel core offers dependable edge retention and corrosion resistance, while multi-layer Damascus cladding adds strength, stability, and a refined visual depth. Careful heat treatment and a finely finished edge give it a razor-sharp bite that stays consistent through long sessions. The balanced construction feels controlled and confident, clean on the board, smooth through dense produce, and effortless when you want accurate, repeatable cuts.

The nakiri’s straight edge and tall blade profile are built for efficient push-cutting, so the edge meets the board along its length for crisp, full-contact slices without wedging or tearing. A wide blade face guides knuckles safely and makes scooping chopped ingredients from board to pan natural. Because the geometry stays flat and stable, it’s ideal for uniform slicing, dicing, and fine vegetable prep.

Designed to hold its value, it pairs durability with comfort: the dense ebony handle adds a secure, weighted feel and a refined finish that stands up to moisture and daily handling. Meanwhile, the VG10 core sharpens cleanly and performs reliably day after day.

Blade Type: Nakiri
Blade Length: 180 mm

A Damascus Nakiri stays at its best when it’s kept clean, dry, and protected from abrasion, especially because the etched Damascus finish can be dulled by harsh detergents or scouring. Treat it as a precision tool: quick hand-wash, immediate dry, proper storage, and gentle contact surfaces will preserve both the VG10 edge and the Damascus pattern.

  • Hand wash only with mild soap; dry immediately, especially near the edge and choil
  • Store safely in a saya/blade guard or on a clean magnetic strip to prevent edge damage
  • Use the right board: wood or quality soft plastic to protect the VG10 edge
  • Care for the ebony handle: wipe dry after use; apply food-safe mineral oil occasionally
  • Avoid dishwasher, soaking, or leaving it wet 
  • Avoid abrasive pads/powders that can scratch/fade the Damascus pattern
  • Wipe after acids/salt (tomatoes, citrus, onions) to keep the finish crisp

Customer photo review of Kiritsuke Knife - Damascus 2 Red Ebony Wood Handle

This Kasumi Knives are good quality, yet it is not that pricy. I had some Nigara knives that bought previously but its not for everyone, if you love cooking at home or at work, Grab a set of Kasumi. they are balance and sharp edge. the secret is how you keep and use it.

Customer photo review of Petty Blue Steel Ebony Wood Handle 140mm/5.5in

I received the knife, it was well packaged and protected. There is just one small problem it was not at its maximum cutting but a little sharpening and it cuts like a razor blade

Customer video review of Japanese Double-sided Whetstone Include Non-slip Base

These knives are awesome! They feel good in your hand. They don’t come really sharpened but the idea is to have the fun of doing it yourself. I have also ordered the stone. Cannot wait to sharpen my knives and cook!

Customer video review of Bunka VG-10 Ebony Wood Handle

Well I love the knife and I'm waiting for my free one to be shipped to me. I'm even featured in a few of your commercials with some voice over on other videos. I plan on making more videos in the future as I buy more knives in the future from you guys. The knife with razor sharp out of the box I put it to a strop and made it even sharper hair whittling. I plan on using it in my kitchen at work and talking to the owners about making possible videos there as well. You're the first company I decided to buy an actual Japanese knife from and I regret that I waited this long the knife is awesome

Customer photo review of Gyuto Blue Steel Ebony Wood Handle

Nice knife. Had to run it over a steel when it arrived (it was a little dull) but it cuts sweetly! I don’t know if this is a true Japanese knife but for the $170 I paid for it it is well worth the price!

Customer photo review of Essential Japanese Knife Set – Blue Steel Blades, Ebony Wood Handles (Santoku, Nakiri, Petty)

Knives are great. I haven't had a chance to put them on the stones yet, which they definitely need (out-of-the-box edge was definitely leaving something to be desired), but I have been having fun, especially with the nakiri since it is something I have been lacking in my culinary bag. Aside from the out-of-the-box edge, the only thing keeping me from giving these knives 5 stars is that the handles have some inconsistencies around the decorative inlay. Probably nothing a little sanding couldn't have fixed at the factory before finishing the wood. These aren't the nicest knives in my bag, but they are up there and will be used frequently.

Customer photo review of 5‑Piece VG-10 Ultimate Home Cook Bundle | Japanese Knife Set (Gyuto, Nakiri, Petty, Santoku, Bunka)

I love the knives! I ordered them to give as Christmas gifts, and everyone loved them. I did have a minor issue when they arrived; two of the knives were damaged. I sent a message to customer support, and I was surprised by how quick and professional they were. They responded quickly and offered to send me replacement knives for the two damaged ones... That's why I'm giving them 5 stars.
