Tsunehisa VG10 Damascus Nakiri 165mm – Tsuchime Rosewood Handle

Japanese precision meets traditional craftsmanship and elegant Damascus design.

The Tsunehisa VG10 Damascus Nakiri 165mm is a Japanese vegetable knife designed for precise, effortless chopping and everyday kitchen preparation.

Featuring a VG10 stainless steel core with layered Damascus cladding, the blade delivers excellent sharpness, edge retention and corrosion resistance. Its distinctive Tsuchime (hammered) finish adds character while helping reduce food adhesion during cutting.

The traditional Nakiri blade features a tall, rectangular profile and a relatively flat cutting edge, making it ideal for chopping, slicing and finely preparing vegetables using controlled push-cutting techniques.

A beautifully finished oval rosewood handle with a black ferrule provides a comfortable grip and complements the knife's elegant appearance.
