Damascus Nakiri

Handcrafted Damascus Nakiri — S-Grind

Handcrafted in Virginia, this Japanese-style nakiri combines traditional pattern-welded steel with refined blade geometry and carefully selected handle materials.

The blade features a distinctive Damascus pattern and an S-grind, with hollowed blade faces designed to encourage food release and a convex transition near the cutting edge.

The custom handle combines stabilized maple burl, ebony, and handmade copper-and-nickel-silver mokume gane. Each material was selected to complement the character of the forged blade.
