The Ittetsu VG-10 Damascus Tsuchime 170 mm Nakiri is built for one thing—vegetable prep—and it does it exceptionally well.

A nakiri is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife with a flat edge profile that excels at clean, efficient push cuts. It’s designed to move straight down through produce without rocking, making it ideal for everything from herbs and greens to dense root vegetables.

Forged in Sanjo City, this knife features a VG-10 core at around 62 HRC, delivering reliable edge retention and easy maintenance. The Damascus cladding paired with a hammered (tsuchime) finish helps reduce sticking and adds visual depth to the blade.

Finished with an octagonal mahogany pakkawood handle, both sizes offer control, comfort, and everyday usability.
