KC-463 Nakiri Blue Steel Damascus 165mm Kitchen Cutlery Knife

The KC-463 Nakiri features a high-carbon blue steel #2 core w/11-layer Damascus blade and a red sandalwood handle. Nakiri are excellent vegetable knives, producing impossibly paper-thin slices, and making short work of precise chopping. The round front provides excellent back-swing that allows the chef to perfect slicing.
