It has become the number one knife in our kitchen. It hasn’t met a tomato too soft. It slices everything first time, every time. Just beautiful to use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great and afforable Nakiri knife *by R***C on 25 April 2026* Great knife for the money. Love how it fits in my hand and how it quickly chops vegetables. Super sharp and easy to clean. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not an expert or chef, but really like this knife. *by M***. on 6 May 2026* This is the best knife I’ve ever owned, and I have owned a few. I’ve resisted reviewing for a couple of years to see how the knife holds up. The edge stays sharp for quite a while, I’ve sharpened it and honed it to keep an edge that holds up well overtime. As far as I can tell, it is the real deal. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yoshihiro VG10 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Nakiri Japanese Vegetable Knife 6.5'' (165mm) Ambrosia Handle - Yoshihiro VG10 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Gyuto Japanese Chefs Knife (Octagonal Ambrosia Handle) (8.25" (210mm) - Yoshihiro VG10 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Santoku Japanese Multipurpose Chef Knife (Ambrosia Handle) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/256387789-yoshihiro-vg-10-46-layers-hammered-damascus-nakiri-usuba-japanese](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/256387789-yoshihiro-vg-10-46-layers-hammered-damascus-nakiri-usuba-japanese) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-25*
