Touroku Sakai CroMoV Sanshi Nakiri 160mm
type: Product
description: Taka Kitano leads Touroku Sakai, continuing a three-generation family legacy while bringing together the work of skilled Japanese knife craftsmen. The CroMoV Sanshi Series is designed around practical everyday performance, pairing easy-care stainless steel with lightweight Japanese wa handles and a distinctive purple lacquer finish. The 160mm Nakiri is purpose-built for vegetable preparation. Its wide, rectangular blade provides excellent knuckle clearance and generous surface area, while the flatter cutting profile encourages clean push cuts, chopping, and repetitive board work. The broad blade also makes transferring prepared ingredients from the cutting board quick and convenient. Made from CroMoV stainless steel and hardened to approximately 59 HRC, the mono-steel blade provides a practical combination of corrosion resistance, edge retention, durability, and ease of sharpening. The full-flat grind creates an efficient taper toward the cutting edge, allowing the knife to move cleanly through vegetables without requiring the extremely thin or delicate geometry found on some higher-hardness Japanese knives. That combination makes the Sanshi Nakiri particularly approachable. It has the lightweight feel and efficient geometry associated with Japanese cutlery while remaining forgiving enough for regular everyday use. A clean Migaki finish gives the blade an understated medium polish, while the octagonal mono-oak wa handle is finished in Sanshi Japanese purple lacquer. The lightweight handle keeps the balance responsive and comfortable during extended vegetable prep. From herbs and onions to cabbage, squash, and root vegetables, the Touroku Sakai CroMoV Sanshi Nakiri is a highly efficient vegetable knife for cooks who want Japanese cutting performance without the additional maintenance of carbon steel.
