Their blades combine modern steels with practical grinds and straightforward finishes, making them a popular choice among home cooks and professionals who want quality without pretence. Nakiri – The Vegetable Knife The nakiri is a double-bevel vegetable knife designed for efficient prep. With a flat edge profile and squared-off tip, it excels at clean, straight cuts through vegetables without the need for a rocking motion. The full edge contact makes it particularly effective for push cutting and chopping, helping to produce even slices with minimal cracking. AUS10 – Stainless Steel AUS10 is a Japanese stainless steel known for balancing edge retention, toughness, and ease of sharpening. It takes a fine edge and holds it well, while remaining relatively forgiving in daily use. In use, that translates to: • A stable, fine edge • Good corrosion resistance • Straightforward maintenance Damascus – Layered Construction The blade features layered damascus cladding, visible in the flowing pattern across the surface. This sits over the core steel, adding durability and reducing reactivity along the blade faces. Each knife will show slight variation in pattern. Nawame Finish The “nawame” pattern gives the blade a distinctive, directional texture across the surface. It adds visual interest while subtly breaking up contact between the blade and ingredients during cutting.
