When we introduced the Kurashikku, we wanted to offer something sharper, more refined, and visually striking — without making it complicated or overpriced. It quickly became one of our most popular knives for beginners who want more than just a basic upgrade.

Why choose the Kazoku Kurashikku?

• Made from harder Japanese VG10 steel
• Damascus finish for a refined appearance
• Longer edge retention than basic stainless steel
• Durable and maintenance-free G10 handle
• Very popular among beginners upgrading their first knife
• Balanced vegetable cleaver

The Nakiri is made specifically for vegetables. Its straight edge makes full contact with the cutting board, giving you clean and efficient cuts every time. From onions and carrots to cabbage and herbs, it turns vegetable prep into a smooth, controlled process.

The blade is made from Japanese VG10 steel with a Damascus finish. VG10 is harder than the German steel used in entry-level knives, which means it holds its edge longer and feels noticeably sharper during use. It gives you that clean, crisp cutting experience people associate with Japanese knives.

The handle is made from durable G10, a strong composite material that is resistant to moisture, temperature changes, and daily wear. It feels solid in the hand and requires virtually no maintenance, making it perfect for everyday cooking.

If you’re ready for your first serious knife and want something that performs beautifully and looks special, the Kurashikku is a natural next step.
