16,5cm nakiri knife, handmade in Japan Yuzo Haruto Damascus

Immerse yourself in the world of Japanese craftsmanship with the Yuzo Haruto Damascus 16.5 cm handmade Japanese nakiri knife, forged with care and passion in Japan! Every detail, from the blade to the grip, has been thought out to offer you a refined, high-performance cutting experience.

A high-performance blade for this damascus knife

The 16.5 cm blade is built around a core of Swedish stainless steel, renowned for its purity and stability over time. This quality material, enriched with chromium, offers excellent resistance, an asset for daily use in the kitchen.

Around this core, multiple layers of damascus steel are superimposed, forming a multi-layered structure that is both robust and flexible. This construction not only lends great strength to the whole, but also reveals the wavy damascus pattern, unique to each blade.

The hardness of 59HRC on the Rockwell scale guarantees good edge retention while remaining reasonable to maintain: you benefit from a long-lasting edge without excessive complexity for sharpening.

The finish combines the elegance of damascus with the technique of hammering on the upper part of the blade, which helps to limit food adherence: a real plus when cutting vegetables with a high water content! Last but not least, theflat cutting edge ensures a clean, effortless cut, even on delicate slices or fine vegetables.

A Japanese nakiri knife with a refined traditional handle

The handle is made of magnolia wood: a lightweight material that's pleasant to the touch and naturally resistant to humidity, an essential quality in the kitchen. The light, discreet veining adds a sober aesthetic touch, in perfect harmony with the elegance of the damascus.

The handle of this damascus knife has an octagonal shape, a traditional Japanese configuration designed for an ambidextrous grip and good support, even with prolonged use.

The bolster, made of white buffalo horn, forms the junction between the blade and the handle: as each piece of horn is unique, the shade may vary slightly from one to the next, making each Japanese kitchen knife truly unique. No visible rivets interrupt this handcrafted aesthetic: everything is designed to combine ergonomics, aesthetics and authenticity.
