Simón Damascus Japan Olivo 7" Nakiri Knife

Simón Damascus Japan Olive Nakiri Knife

The Simón Damascus Japan Olive Nakiri Knife is a premium Japanese-style vegetable knife crafted for precision, speed, and exceptional cutting performance. Designed for slicing, chopping, and dicing vegetables, herbs, fruits, and other ingredients, this elegant kitchen tool combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with premium materials to deliver professional-level results.

Handcrafted in Japan as part of the exclusive Simón DJ Damascus Collection, the knife features an 18 cm (7-inch) blade forged from 67 layers of Damascus steel surrounding a premium VG-10 steel core. Hardened to over 60 HRC on the Rockwell scale, the blade offers remarkable edge retention, durability, and long-lasting sharpness for demanding kitchen applications.

The mirror-polished Damascus finish highlights the beautiful layered steel pattern while improving food release and blade glide through ingredients. Each knife is individually sharpened by hand using traditional ceramic water stones, creating an exceptionally fine cutting edge capable of effortless precision work.

The Nakiri blade profile, renowned in Japanese cuisine, excels at chopping and preparing vegetables with clean, straight cuts. Its broad blade also performs exceptionally well when slicing fish, portioning meats, and cutting soft cheeses.

Built using traditional Japanese Hocho-style construction, the blade tang is securely fitted into the handle, resulting in a remarkably lightweight knife with excellent balance and responsiveness. The slight forward weight distribution toward the blade enhances cutting efficiency and provides superior control during extended food preparation.

The handle is crafted from carefully selected olive root wood, prized for its natural beauty, warmth, and distinctive grain patterns. An elegant buffalo horn bolster completes the traditional Japanese design while providing durability and sophistication.
