Made in Japan, Tojiro Fujitora 3-Layer is the new DP series known as one of the best and affordable knife collection on the market. With a solid full-tang construction and low maintenance blade made from a highly reputable VG-10 core and a 13-chrome cladding, it can not only hold a sharp edge thanks to its high carbon content, but is also resistant to rust. The 18-8 stainless bolster with reinforced laminated handle offers comfortable and a well-balanced feeling in the hand. It simply doesn't get any better than that!

Nakiri knives are highly known for their long and flat blade. They tend to be fabricated with a higher heel compared to other models and are extremely popular for chopping vegetables. They are the ideal candidate for cutting long veggies in a single chop, but also great for a push or pull cut into harder vegetables. The square shape allows you to easily grip your fingers around the handle with no fear of busting your knuckles when chopping your vegetables.

Many chefs that regularly work with vegetables and fruits consider their Nakiri a primary knife in the kitchen.
