Description
xMeet the SHAN ZU Damascus Nakiri Knife, a chef-grade tool designed for vegetable prep and precise, clean cuts. The blade blends a Japanese high-carbon core with a dramatic 67-layer Damascus construction, delivering edge geometry that holds up under daily kitchen use. The core steel, rated around 62 HRC, balances sharpness with resilience, helping you glide through vegetables with confidence.
The real Damascus appearance comes from layered steel folded and forged rather than laser-etched patterns. The result is a blade that reveals a distinctive, shimmering pattern as it’s polished, turning routine chopping into a moment of craft.
Engineered for durability and control, this knife measures 7 inches in blade length and 2.2 mm in thickness, with a precise 15-degree bevel that helps you achieve even slices. At roughly 270 g, it offers a balanced feel that reduces fatigue during longer prep sessions. The handle pairs frosted glass fiber G10 with a contoured shape to provide a secure grip and steady handling.
