Kikuichi Warikomi Damascus Tsuchime 6.5″ Nakiri Knife

The WDT series is like a beautiful cousin to the WG series with the same warm Birch handle and a precision 17-layer hammered VG10 blade, this is a fantastic knife that will shine both on the board and in the block. Similar in weight to many German knives, WDT series is popular among people who want a western handle and a Japanese blade. The VG10 edge is one of the best modern stainless steels due to its fine grain structure and great durability. The hammered tsuchime finish helps release food from the blade. Hand engraved with the Kikuichi chrysanthemum logo.

Kikuichi’s legacy dates back more than 750 years, when family ancestor Shiro Kanenaga was appointed a swordsmith to Emperor Gotoba and crafted samurai swords bearing the imperial chrysanthemum crest – a symbol of exceptional quality. Following the end of the samurai era in 1868, Kikuichi transitioned its renowned bladesmithing expertise into premium kitchen cutlery. Today, the company continues that tradition with handcrafted knives and scissors that combine centuries of Japanese craftsmanship with modern performance. Built for lasting sharpness, precision, and durability, every Kikuichi blade reflects a heritage of excellence passed down through generations.
