Dalstrong 6" Nakiri Vegetable Knife - 67-Layer Damascus AUS-10V

Dalstrong 6" Nakiri Vegetable Knife - 67-Layer Damascus AUS-10V

• FOR VEGETABLE PREP WHERE TECHNIQUE MATTERS AS MUCH AS SPEED: The nakiri's flat heel-to-tip profile is built for push-cuts through vegetables — no rocking, no rolling, full contact with the board on every stroke. Slice through a daikon or butternut squash in clean, even passes that a curved chef knife's rocker profile can't match. The flat blade face is also ideal for transferring diced veg from board to pan without chasing pieces.
• FOR JAPANESE VEGETABLE TECHNIQUE AT HOME — PRECISE, CONTROLLED, EFFICIENT: The 6" format keeps the nakiri agile for fine work: paper-thin cucumber rounds, squared vegetable brunoise, and precise herb crosscuts. AUS-10V at 62+ HRC takes a fine enough edge to slice without pressure — the blade weight and geometry do the work. The hammered Tsuchime finish releases thin slices cleanly from the blade face.
• FOR MEAL PREP SESSIONS WHERE YOU'RE CUTTING A LOT OF PRODUCE: The nakiri handles high-volume vegetable work faster than a chef knife because the flat profile keeps each stroke consistent — no blade rocking off-line, no uneven thickness across a pile of carrots or cabbage. Prep a week's worth of vegetables with less fatigue and more precision than any other blade format.
• THE TSUCHIME HAMMERED FINISH — WHY IT'S ON THIS BLADE: The hand-hammered dimples on the blade face create micro air pockets between the steel and the food, reducing suction so wafer-thin slices release cleanly without sticking. On a 62+ HRC Japanese blade cutting vegetables this thin, that friction reduction is functional, not just decorative.
