Kuronawa G3 Damascus Handcrafted Japanese Nakiri Knife 16.5cm

A special knife for vegetables

The Wusaki Kuronawa G3 damascus Japanese nakiri knife, 16.5cm, is made by the Tsunehisa workshop. It's an exceptional Japanese knife designed to elevate vegetable prep. Combining surgical precision, refined ergonomics and timeless aesthetics, this knife stands out as a must-have for demanding cooks, whether professional or passionate home cooks.

A blade with real technical finesse

Its damascus structure reveals unique wavy patterns, the result of a complex stack of alternating steels forming the cutting surface. At the heart of this architecture is a Ginsan steel (0.95% carbon), known for its ability to hold a long-lasting edge while remaining easy to sharpen. With a hardness of 59/60 HRC, this knife strikes a perfect balance between rigidity and flexibility. The handcrafted hammering visible on the upper part of the blade adds a distinctive visual touch while reducing food adherence.

An octagonal ebony handle

The octagonal ebony wood handle embodies the perfect blend of function and sophistication. This noble material, naturally resistant to impact, moisture and vibration, ensures a stable, comfortable grip, suited to right- and left-handers alike. The wood's dark finish, set off by a black buffalo horn bolster, adds a touch of authenticity and visual contrast.

An authentic, timeless design

Between the damascus shimmer, the delicate hammering, and the blade's polished finish, this nakiri wins people over with its clean, refined style. Its flat profile and wide blade make it the ideal tool for chopping, mincing and finely cutting.

Care for the knife by hand, without letting the handle get too wet. Wipe the knife dry with a soft cloth before putting it away.

A knife born from authentic Japanese craftsmanship

Use

• Cut with a straight, linear motion. Twisting motions damage the cutting edge and can break the blade.
• Use a wooden cutting board. Glass or marble dull the cutting edge over time.

Cleaning

• Wash by hand with a soft sponge and mild soap, then rinse with lukewarm water. Abrasive surfaces are not suitable for the steel.
• Oil the blade from time to time with a neutral mineral oil to protect it.

Sharpening

• Don't wait until the blade is completely dull: regular maintenance on a 1000-grit whetstone keeps an excellent cutting edge without removing too much material.
• Match the whetstone's grit to the condition of the blade — coarse grit to restore a very dull edge, fine grit to polish.
