Ji Series Nakiri Knife — 53-Layer Tricolour Copper Damascus Steel | Padauk Burl Handle
This Nakiri knife is engineered for high-performance vegetable preparation, forged from a customised 53-layer Tricolour Copper Damascus steel structure. The blade combines 316L stainless steel, brass and purple copper layered around a 12Cr18MoV high-hardness core, delivering outstanding sharpness, corrosion resistance and durability. After precision vacuum heat treatment, the core reaches 60 ± 2 HRC, ensuring superior edge retention without brittleness.
Multiple cycles of hand-polishing refine the blade surface, achieving a smooth grain, reduced friction and natural lustre. The cutting edge is sharpened to a 15° ± 1° V-shaped bevel, providing effortless slicing performance tailored to vegetables, herbs and soft-texture foods. The ergonomic S-curve at the blade root and the rounded transition from heel to spine enhance finger comfort and prevent accidental contact during use.
The handle combines padauk burl wood, cupronickel and black G10, offering a secure, well-balanced and ambidextrous grip. This structure provides excellent longevity, moisture resistance and a premium tactile feel—ideal for frequent, precise kitchen work.
Hand wash only. Keep dry. Not suitable for chopping bones or frozen foods.
