Yaxell Rei 6.5" Nakiri Knife

The Yaxell Rei 6.5" Nakiri Knife is a beautifully crafted Japanese vegetable knife designed for clean, precise cuts with effortless control. Handcrafted in Japan, it features a VG10 stainless steel core clad in 69 layers of Damascus stainless steel, delivering exceptional sharpness, durability, and corrosion resistance. The thin, straight-edged blade excels at push-cutting and chopping vegetables, allowing for clean, even cuts with minimal resistance. Finished with a sleek DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, the blade showcases a dark, elegant finish that highlights the Damascus pattern while reducing friction and increasing scratch resistance. The octagonal black pakkawood handle with a red ferrule and mosaic pin provides a secure, comfortable grip and stunning visual contrast, making this knife as beautiful as it is functional.
