Blade & purpose

This 12.5 inch hand forged Damascus steel Nakiri knife is built for vegetable preparation in the kitchen. The 7.5 inch cutting edge and 5 inch handle suit cooks who want a dedicated chopping tool with a traditional Japanese profile.

Sheath & care

A thick cow hide leather sheath with a belt loop is included for carry and storage. The supplier warns that leather can absorb moisture and cause rust, so the knife should not be stored in the sheath long term. Clean the blade after each use and apply cooking oil or wax before putting it away.

Installation & risk

The knife arrives ready to use with no assembly required. The blade is extremely sharp and the disclaimer stresses careful handling to avoid injury. Improper storage in the sheath or failure to oil the high carbon steel will lead to rust that must be removed with WD40.

Questions about this item

How often should I oil the 1095/15N20 Damascus blade to prevent rust?

Clean and apply cooking oil after every use; never store the knife long-term in the leather sheath because leather absorbs moisture and promotes corrosion.

What is the first sign that the 7.5-inch cutting edge needs attention during extended prep sessions?

The high-carbon Damascus steel will lose its razor keenness before the edge rolls, so a light touch-up on a fine stone restores performance quickly.

Does the green-maroon wood handle become slippery or hot when used continuously in a busy kitchen?

The natural wood scales stay grippy and temperature-neutral during all-day use; just wipe moisture off and oil the handle occasionally to maintain comfort.
