Yaxell – Zen Nakiri Knife 165mm

The Yaxell Zen nakiri is a stylish Japanese vegetable knife. The nakiri can be found in almost every Japanese kitchen. The high and square blade is great for quickly cutting vegetables, fruit and herbs. The high blade allows you to safely guide the blade along your knuckles while chopping. This is, without a doubt, the knife you use to finely cut carrots, cucumber, cabbage and any other types of vegetables.
The blade is made from 37 layers of damascus steel and a core of Japanese VG10 steel hardened up to 61HRC. VG10 is known to be very hard and can also easily be sharpened. The hammered effect on the blade is a traditional finish that emerged because of the blows of the blacksmith’s hammer as he forged the blade. In addition to it looking great, the dimples ensure that food won’t stick to the blade. The damascus steel is in nice contrast with the dark and light lines that run over the entire length of the blade. This combination of the type of steel and the finish ensures that the Yaxell Zen knives are efficient, but also look amazing.
