The Ittetsu VG-10 Damascus Tsuchime 130mm Nakiri is a compact vegetable knife built for speed, precision, and control in tighter prep spaces.

With its shorter blade length and flat edge profile, this nakiri excels at quick, clean push cuts through herbs, greens, and smaller vegetables. It’s especially useful for detail work or when a full-size nakiri feels like more knife than you need.

Forged in Sanjo City, it features a VG-10 core steel heat treated to around 62 HRC for dependable edge retention and easy maintenance. The sanmai construction is clad in layered Damascus with a hammered (tsuchime) finish, helping reduce sticking while adding texture and visual depth.

Finished with an octagonal mahogany pakkawood handle, it feels nimble and controlled in hand—ideal for fast, efficient vegetable prep without sacrificing precision.

A great option for smaller boards, lighter prep, or anyone who prefers a more compact Nakiri.
