The Nakiri knife 18 cm Tojiro Flash is the Japanese version for vegetable chopper. 

The Nakiri blade shape is traditional for Japanese vegetable knives and is mostly used for cutting all kinds of vegetables, fish, meat, slicing and dicing.

Opposite to the gyuto, the nakiri isn’t rocked like a chef's knife. Instead, with just a simple effortless push, it cuts with great precision vegetables of all kinds. 

In spite of its hatchet shape, this knife is not suitable for dissecting bones.

The elegant Tojiro Flash series features a blade that has a folded and forged construction of 63 layers of Damascus steel.
This process allows the thin center layer of VG-10 steel to be extremely hard & sharp but the blade retains flexibility & strength. 

With a VG10 steel cutting core and and a softer stainless steel alloy clad, Tojiro Flash knives are super sharp at 61+/-1 HRC Rockwell and hold their edge for a long period of time.

The Micarta handle is inlayed with stainless steel for a stunning appearance.
Micarta is a revolutionary new handle material that is made from linen and synthetic resin compounded by extreme amounts of pressure and heat creating a wood-like grain and feel with the absolute ultimate in durability. 

Tojiro Flash knives are full tang and have a special diagonal bolster (Tsuba) which adds extra equivalence and weight.
