SKM Tamashi VG10 Damascus 2-Piece Knife Set – Nakiri 180mm & Bread Knife 240mm

A distinctive two-piece Japanese knife set from the SKM Tamashi collection, combining a versatile Nakiri with a long serrated bread knife. Both knives feature VG10 stainless steel, Damascus cladding, hammered Tsuchime finishes and Pakka wood handles.

Designed as a practical pairing, the set covers two very different jobs in the kitchen: precise vegetable preparation and clean slicing of breads and baked goods.

VG10 Damascus Construction

Both knives feature a VG10 stainless steel cutting core with Damascus cladding. VG10 is widely used in Japanese kitchen knives for its excellent combination of sharpness, edge retention and corrosion resistance.

The layered Damascus pattern is complemented by a Tsuchime hammered finish, giving the blades a distinctive handcrafted Japanese appearance.

180mm Nakiri

The Nakiri is the traditional Japanese vegetable knife. Its tall blade and relatively flat cutting edge make it particularly effective for chopping and push-cutting vegetables, herbs and fruit.

The generous blade height also provides excellent knuckle clearance and makes it easy to transfer prepared ingredients from the cutting board.

240mm Bread Knife

The 240mm serrated bread knife is designed to cut cleanly through crusty breads without crushing the softer interior.

Its long blade also makes it useful for larger loaves, cakes, pastries and other foods where a serrated edge performs better than a conventional straight edge.

Pakka Wood Handles

Both knives feature ergonomic Pakka wood handles with stainless steel rivets, offering a comfortable, secure grip and a classic Western-style profile.

A Practical Two-Knife Combination
