Made in Japan, the Tojiro Classic 3-Layer (A-1 series) is the most affordable collection in their entire lineup. Featuring a solid half-tang construction, the blade is crafted with a reputable VG-10 core and 13-chrome cladding. This combination ensures the blade not only maintains a sharp edge due to its high carbon content but also offers excellent rust resistance. With a thinner blade geometry, this series delivers exceptional performance for its price.

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.
