The knife nakiri by Kanetsune with a blade length of 16cm, has a wide and straight blade with a blunt tip. It is mainly used for cutting vegetables, and thanks to its thin blade, it can even cut the most delicate vegetable. However, it is not suitable for harder materials, such as small fish or meat bones, or frozen foods as it may break. It is made of Damascus Steel, a material with a core of hard alloy steel and VG10 carbon, providing an extremely strong, sharp, and durable blade, resistant to oxidation and wear. The combination of metals keeps the blade sharp for a long time and highly resistant thanks to the materials that make it up.
