Experience Japanese VG1 Stainless in the Japanese Vegetable Knife
The Tsunehisa VG1 Nakiri 165mm in Pakkawood is made in Japan from VG1 stainless steel - a flat, rectangular blade purpose-built for vegetables, delivering clean, full-contact cuts that a curved blade simply can't match, with easy maintenance and no rust risk.
The Specs
Steel: VG1 stainless - stainless clad, San Mai
Finish: Tsuchime (hammered) - reduces drag and food sticking
The Nakiri's flat blade profile makes full contact with the cutting board on every stroke - no curved belly, no rocking, no uncut bits left behind. It excels at the push-cut and pull-cut styles, slicing cleanly through cabbage, carrots, onions, and leafy greens with a precision that a gyuto or santoku can't replicate. VG1 stainless holds a sharp, long-lasting edge with minimal maintenance - no rust risk, easy to sharpen on Japanese water stones. The tsuchime hammered finish reduces drag and prevents food from sticking to the flat. Made in Japan by Tsunehisa.
