Meet the Shinko Series 7" Nakiri Knife — a Japanese vegetable specialist forged from 110 alternating layers of premium Damascus steel: 55 layers of AUS-10 for toughness and bite paired with 55 layers of VG-10 for elite sharpness and edge life. The flat edge and tall blade deliver crisp push-cuts, ultra-thin slices, and confident chopping, while the stabilized maple + resin handle provides balance and control for daily prep.

 

Key Highlights

  • 9–12° double-bevel edge for low-resistance, laser-clean cuts
  • True Nakiri profile: flat belly for full board contact and perfect push-cuts
  • Tall blade protects knuckles and makes scooping ingredients effortless
  • Stabilized maple & resin handle with polished bolster—secure, ergonomic grip
  • Balanced, lightweight feel to reduce fatigue during extended prep
  • Includes sheath & gift box for safe storage and elevated gifting

The Advantages of a Japanese Nakiri Knife

  • Board-perfect push-cuts: flat edge meets the board evenly for uniform slices without rocking.
  • Vegetable specialist: excels at shredding cabbage, julienning carrots, slicing onions, and chiffonading herbs.
  • Taller blade control: offers excellent guidance, knuckle clearance, and easy ingredient transfer.
  • Damascus performance: AUS-10 layers add toughness; VG-10 layers enhance hardness and edge retention.
  • Crafted to inspire: striking Damascus pattern and heirloom-worthy handle elevate any kitchen.

FAQ

What makes this Nakiri different from a chef’s knife?

The Nakiri’s flat edge and tall blade are optimized for vegetables—delivering straight, even cuts and easy ingredient transfer, without the rocking motion of a chef’s knife.

 

Why combine AUS-10 and VG-10 in 110 layers?

AUS-10 adds toughness and bite, while VG-10 contributes hardness and superior edge retention. Alternating 55 layers of each yields a blade that’s sharp, resilient, and visually striking.

 

Is the knife double-beveled?

Yes. It’s a 9–12° double-bevel grind, suitable for both left- and right-handed users.

 

Does it come with a sheath?

Yes. Each Shinko Series Nakiri includes a fitted protective sheath and a signature storage/gift box.
