Discover the refined craftsmanship of Hazaki’s PRO Series, where Japanese blade-making tradition meets modern, hands-on assembly. Forged in Seki, Japan, the blade features premium VG10 stainless steel wrapped in an elegant Damascus cladding. Known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and striking layered patterns, this blade is hardened to 61 HRC, delivering precise, confident performance for everyday cooking or demanding prep sessions.
The handle is where this piece truly stands apart. Handmade in Canada from birch wood, it’s carefully stained in a deep dark blue-green tone, giving the knife a bold, modern character while still highlighting the natural grain of the wood. Comfortable in hand and visually unique, no two handles are ever exactly the same.
The PRO Series isn’t about flash for the sake of it—it’s about balance, feel, and craftsmanship you can see and appreciate every time you cook. A knife designed to perform flawlessly, look distinctive, and age beautifully in your kitchen.
Designed specifically for vegetable prep, the Nakiri is a purpose-built knife that shines when precision and efficiency matter. Its perfectly flat edge makes full contact with the cutting board, allowing for clean push cuts without missed spots or the need to rock the blade. This means faster prep, more consistency, and less fatigue during long cooking sessions.
The tall blade offers excellent knuckle clearance and doubles as a handy scoop for transferring ingredients from board to pan. Whether you’re chopping carrots, slicing onions paper-thin, or dicing patatoes, the Nakiri delivers smooth, controlled cuts every time. Simple, balanced, and incredibly effective, it’s an essential tool for anyone who takes vegetable prep seriously—home cook or professional alike.
