The Katana Saya Flame Olivewood 18cm Nakiri Knife offers exceptional performance and a striking design, making it a standout addition to any kitchen. Nakiri knives are renowned for their straight blade edge and squared tips, making them perfect for efficient chopping tasks. The 18cm length strikes the ideal balance, offering the versatility of a medium-sized blade that’s ideal for preparing vegetables, fruits, and herbs. Unlike other knives, the Nakiri’s design allows for chopping straight down to the cutting board without the need for horizontal pushing or pulling, ensuring precise, clean cuts.

The knife’s VG-10 core steel is paired with Rainbow Damascus, a captivating finish that creates a beautiful interplay of colors in the blade’s swirling patterns. The copper and brass layers folded through the steel generate an effect resembling flickering flames and embers, not only enhancing the knife’s visual appeal but also contributing to its superior functionality. The Rainbow Damascus steel offers superior strength and durability, with exceptional edge retention, making it a high-performance blade for both professional chefs and home cooks alike.

The Rockwell Hardness rating of 60-61 ensures that this knife delivers outstanding sharpness, durability, and resistance to wear. With the blade sharpened to a 15° angle, the Katana Saya Flame Nakiri Knife can effortlessly glide through vegetables, providing precise cuts every time. The folding technique used to create the Damascus layers adds toughness to the steel, while the copper and brass folding provides enhanced resistance to corrosion, ensuring the knife remains in top condition over time.

Designed with natural olivewood, the octagonal handle provides an ergonomic and secure grip that is as aesthetically pleasing as it is functional. The warm, earthy tones of the wood complement the blade’s swirling patterns, creating a knife that is as much a work of art as it is a kitchen tool. The octagonal shape, inspired by traditional Japanese blade handles, offers exceptional comfort and control, reducing hand fatigue during extended use.

The Katana Saya Flame Olivewood Nakiri Knife is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, combining centuries-old techniques with modern luxury and performance. It is presented in an elegant wooden gift box, complete with a protective wooden saya (sheath) for safe storage. Whether you are preparing a simple meal or working on an intricate culinary project, this Nakiri knife will elevate your cooking experience to new heights.
