Seki Kyuba RYU Nakiri Veggie Knife 17.5cm

The veggie conqueror: Nakiri “Nakiri” roughly means “leaf cutter,” and the 17.5cm blade is shaped for the job: a straight edge and squared-off tip for efficient push-cutting, a tall profile for knuckle clearance and repetitive chopping without fatigue, and enough height to scoop chopped veg off the board. It’s built on a VG10 steel core in 33 layers of stainless Damascus, hand-forged in Seki, Gifu. At 62 HRC the VG10 core holds a razor edge, and the layered cladding adds durability, stain resistance and a flowing, water-like grain. The full Damascus pattern is finished with a subtle hammered texture that creates tiny air pockets, keeping vegetables from clinging as you cut. Available in Mediterranean Blue, Olive Green or Natural Brown.
