Kagemitsu ZA18 Nakiri, 165 cm 

This Japanese vegetable knife has a core of Japanese ZA18 stainless steel with a protective layer made from damascus (layered) steel on the outside. This double-sided sharpened knife is provided with a protective layer of soft stainless steel. The blade is very thin and manually sharpened and has no thickenings which makes sharpening very easy.

The ZA-18 was specially developed by Osaka Clad Co., Ltd with Aichi Steel Corp to compete or even outperform VG10. It has similar chemical composition to the VG10, but contains higher Carbon (1.20 vs. 1.05), Chromium (18.0 vs. 15.5), Molybdenum (1.5- vs. 1.20) and Cobalt (1.80 vs. 1.50) for added hardness, durability and corrosion resistance. It is a Suminagashi clad construction with outer steel of AUS-2, that makes extra strong to bending and breaking.

C 0.95-1.20% | Cr 17.0-18.0% | Mo 1.00-1.50% | V 0.10-0.25% | Co 1.80%
