Tojiro Nakiri Ouran 165mm (6.5")
Crafted from VG-10 steel, this blade delivers exceptional durability, long-lasting sharpness, and superior rust resistance. The 63-layer Damascus cladding adds both strength and beauty, featuring a striking ripple pattern that highlights the knife’s refined craftsmanship. Ideal for both home cooks and professionals, this blade holds its edge through prolonged use and can be easily resharpened.
“Ouran” means cherry blossom storm — a poetic nod to fleeting beauty and the natural elegance of Japanese design. The Damascus pattern and the warm cherry wood handle bring that image to life, right in your kitchen.
BLADE SHAPE:
This Nakiri is designed with one task in mind: effortless vegetable prep. If you cook a lot of veggies and already have a knife for meat or fish — or follow a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle — a nakiri is the perfect companion in your kitchen. Its flat edge and tall blade make chopping, slicing, and dicing vegetables efficient and satisfying.
STEEL:
High-quality VG-10 steel (61 HRC) is clad in 62 layers of softer stainless steel, creating a distinctive Damascus pattern that makes each knife one of a kind.
GEOMETRY:
This knife features a double bevel (50/50 symmetrical), meaning the blade is sharpened symmetrically on both sides. That makes it equally comfortable for both left- and right-handed users and easier to maintain at home. It also allows for clean, controlled cuts—especially helpful for precise, consistent cuts—whether you're prepping quickly or taking your time.
HANDLE:
The oval-shaped handle is made of cherry wood, known for its smooth feel and beautiful grain. It fits comfortably in your hand and looks great too. The resin bolster helps keep the handle stable through changes in temperature or humidity—no cracking or warping over time.
ABOUT TOJIRO:
TOJIRO is one of Japan’s top five knife manufacturers, trusted by chefs around the world for their balance of performance and value. They blend traditional craftsmanship with advanced production techniques, creating knives that are consistently sharp, reliable, and beautifully finished. If sharpness is your priority, TOJIRO delivers—right out of the box and for years to come.
