The Katana Saya Elements 18cm Nakiri Knife Volcanic red is a versatile and beautifully crafted tool designed to elevate your cooking experience, especially when it comes to chopping vegetables. Featuring a straight blade edge and squared tip profile, this Nakiri knife allows for precise cutting all the way down to the cutting board without the need for a horizontal push or pull. This design makes it especially useful for quick and efficient vegetable prep, delivering clean, uniform cuts every time. The 18cm blade length is considered medium-sized, offering a perfect balance between maneuverability and cutting surface area. The blade itself is made from the finest VG-10 core steel, a premium Japanese steel known for its durability and exceptional sharpness. With 67 layers of Damascus steel cladding, the blade combines the toughness of high-carbon steel with the corrosion resistance of stainless steel, ensuring the knife stays sharp and performs at its best for a long time. The VG-10 steel has a Rockwell hardness of 60+, which means it can hold an edge longer and provides superior strength, making this knife a reliable choice for both professional chefs and home cooks.

The exquisite craftsmanship of the blade is reflected in the stunning feathered Damascus pattern, which not only enhances the knife's appearance but also adds an extra layer of durability. The beauty of the blade is complemented by the unique handle, made from a combination of olivewood and red translucent resin.

This ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip while also adding a pop of color and style to your kitchen. Each knife in the Katana Saya Elements range comes in a gift box with a protective wooden 'Saya,' which helps shield the blade from damage and ensures safe handling. This makes it a perfect gift for culinary enthusiasts or anyone who appreciates high-quality kitchen tools.
