Nakiri Knife
Resembling a small cleaver, the traditional Japanese Nakiri are double beveled knives designed specifically for working with vegetables. Unlike a cleaver, the Nakiri is extremely sharp and thin, providing you with smooth, clean, precise chops and cuts. The Damascus Nakiri's squared-off tip, and tall, flat, broad side is also great at crushing foods such as garlic, and its amazingly sharp blade effortlessly chops all the way down to the cutting board, without the need for pulling or pushing.
The Damascus Dynasty Series
Meet our flagship series, and the culmination of our passion for knives and the art of cooking. Designed to reflect centuries of knife design, paired with cutting-edge forging techniques, and the highest-grade Damascus steel for unparalleled craftsmanship. The spectacularly sharp blades are made from specially formulated 67-Layer AUS-10V Japanese Damascus Steel, which retains its edge better than any other. They are individually handcrafted & sharpened by our virtuoso technicians, and have a Rockwell Hardness of 62+ for maximum strength, flexibility, and edge durability.
Alluring and gorgeous, the military aircraft-grade G10 + Glass Resin handles are perfectly balanced and contoured for amazing comfort & safety, and beautifully adorned with an opulent mosaic pin of brass & copper.
