The Lan Series Nakiri is built for vegetables. A tall, flat 7-inch blade meets the board edge-to-edge, so every push-cut goes clean through in one motion — no rocking, no half-cut ribbons holding on at the heel. The core is 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel, clad in 73 layers of Damascus and finished with an olive wood handle. Hardened to 62±2 HRC and ground to 15° per side, it keeps a fine edge through a full prep session.

LAN SERIES · NAKIRI
The Nakiri does one job and does it properly: vegetables. Its straight, squared-off profile sits flush against the board for the entire length of the cut, so onions, herbs and root veg fall away in clean slices instead of staying tethered at the back of the blade. The Lan Series pairs that geometry with a 73-layer Damascus blade over a 14Cr14MoVNb powder-steel core — a workhorse prep knife that earns its place on the board.

WHY A NAKIRI
At 54mm tall the blade gives you knuckle clearance and a wide face to scoop and transfer what you've chopped. The flat edge means no rocking — you lift, place and push straight down, and the cut finishes every time. It is the fastest tool in the kitchen for board-loads of vegetables.
THE STEEL
The cutting core is 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel — a fine, uniform grain that takes and holds a keen edge. It is clad in 73 layers of Damascus (SUS410 folded 36 layers per side) for the rippled pattern and a stainless, easy-care outer body. Vacuum heat treatment and a deep-freeze cycle bring it to 62±2 HRC, hard enough to stay sharp through long prep yet still field-sharpenable on a stone.
Specification
Hand-wash only — not dishwasher safe.
IN THE HAND
The handle is olive wood — dense, warm-toned and grippy when wet — set on a full-tang blade and secured with copper flower rivets for balance through the pinch grip. At 250g the knife has enough mass to drop through dense veg on its own, without feeling top-heavy over a long board session. A 2.1mm spine keeps it nimble.

It is a Japanese vegetable knife. The tall, flat, squared-off blade makes full contact with the board, so you push straight down and the cut releases cleanly — ideal for slicing, dicing and fine herb work in volume.
A flat edge keeps the whole blade on the board through the cut, so nothing stays attached at the heel. You lift and push rather than rock, which is faster and more uniform for vegetables.
Yes. It is 73 layers of genuine Damascus — a 14Cr14MoVNb powder-steel cutting core clad in SUS410 stainless, 36 layers folded each side, for the visible rippled pattern.
62±2 HRC, achieved through vacuum heat treatment and a deep-freeze cycle. That holds a fine edge through long prep while still sharpening readily on a whetstone.
Olive wood on a full-tang blade, fixed with copper flower rivets. It is dense, warm-toned and stays grippy when wet.
No. Hand wash and dry it after use — dishwasher detergent and heat damage both the edge and the olive wood handle.
15° per side (15°±1), a double bevel. It is a fine, vegetable-ready edge that you can maintain with a 1000/6000 whetstone.
Yes, a lifetime warranty, and it ships in an exquisite handmade gift box.
