The Tetsuhiro Knife Company comes from the Kiryu forge, a respected name in Japanese bladesmithing since 1927, based in Sanjo City, Niigata—an area with deep blacksmithing roots. Their Gold Damascus series is a perfect blend of beauty, performance, and affordability. Built with a solid half-tang construction, the blade features a VG-1 (Gold Steel) core wrapped in Damascus cladding, striking a balance between long-lasting sharpness and rust resistance. Thanks to its thinner blade geometry, this series delivers impressive cutting performance without breaking the bank.
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.
