The Touroku Sakai Yukage 160mm Nakiri is a masterful blend of precision and tradition—crafted under the skilled hand of Taka Kitano, continuing three generations of Sakai craftsmanship. Designed for clean, confident cuts through vegetables, this Nakiri’s tall, straight-edge profile makes it a kitchen essential for producing uniform slices and fine julienne cuts.

Its VG-10 stainless steel core, hardened to 62 HRC, provides razor-sharp performance and edge retention that suits both home cooks and professionals. The 67-layer Damascus cladding, paired with a hammered Tsuchime texture, minimizes drag and resists food sticking, allowing each slice to fall effortlessly.

The oak handle is flame burnished and finished with urushi lacquer, delivers a comfortable and balanced feel in hand. Its octagonal shape ensures precise control and lasting comfort during extended prep. Hand-forged in Sakai City, this knife embodies the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship with every chop, slice, and draw cut.
