Tojiro Shippu White Nakiri knife, ref: fd-598

The Nakiri knife is a Japanese kitchen knife with a straight blade that makes cleaning and cutting of vegetables easy.

Tojiro have been manufacturing a lot of knives using know-how of processing multi-layered materials. They originally forged multi-layer iron to make the core much harder and this created one of the highest qualities in the world. Damascus skills have been cultivated making forged Japanese swords and applied now on Japanese-style knives. “Easiness to use” is from western-style and “Comfortable grip and convenience of being able to change the handle” are from Japanese-style knives. It is a fusion of modern style and Japanese tradition. The beautiful 63 Damascus layers pattern is not too much to say that it is a headliner (*peeling and paring knives are 37 layers).

• Blade: 63-layer Damascus steel:
  • Core: cobalt alloy steel.
  • External layers: alternated layers of high and low carbon stainless steel.
• Handle: oak wood.
