Takeshi Saji VG-10 Custom Damascus Wild Series Nakiri Knife

Crafted in the Knife capital of the world—Thiers, France—the Nakiri is forged by a 5th generation bladesmith and hardened with nitrogen. Its design combines the utilitarianism of German blades with the precision of Japanese knives. Instead of being cheaply welded together, all of our Knives are full tang and fully forged, meaning they are crafted from a single rod of stainless steel that extends from tip to handle—resulting in sharper, perfectly balanced blades.
