Tojiro Zen 3-layer blade, nakiri 16,5 cm FD-568
This nakiri from Tojiro is the perfect combination between design and user-friendliness. For knives there is always a compromise between hardness (sharp, but brittle and less stainless) and flexible (less sharp and less brittle, more stainless). Tojiro opted for a multi-layer construction. The core is made from VG10 steel surrounded by 13-chrome steel. This leaves you with a unique combination of hardness and a much higher corrosion-resistance than with carbon steel.
