{"product_id":"m390-san-mai-nakiri-damascus-clad","title":"M390 San Mai Nakiri, Stabilised \u0026 Dyed Birch","description":"\u003cp\u003eA nakiri is the bench workhorse. Tall, flat and built for clean push cuts straight down through veg, herbs and anything else you put under it. This one is a cut above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its heart is an M390 core, one of the finest cutting steels made. It holds an edge for an absurdly long time and shrugs off rust and moisture, so it earns its keep on a busy bench and stays sharp long after lesser knives have gone dull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat core is wrapped in high layer stainless Damascus cladding, hundreds of layers folded into flowing waves that catch the light differently from every angle. No two patterns are ever the same. San Mai construction means the hard cutting core does the work while the softer outer layers take the knocks, the same principle behind a traditional Japanese blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle is stabilised and dyed birch. The timber is pressure stabilised so it's sealed solid against water and wear, then dyed to bring out deep colour and figure that shifts as it catches the light. Hand shaped to sit balanced and natural in the hand, and built to live on the bench for the long haul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe build\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e190mm cutting edge nakiri profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM390 stainless San Mai core, hardened to 62 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh layer stainless Damascus cladding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStabilised and dyed birch handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade Damascus Steel \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree engraving, added on this page, your name, a date, a few words that mean something\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacked for life.

For our high end Damascus kitchen knives we recommend pairing it with our knife wax and a leather carry case. The wax keeps the Damascus pattern crisp and protects the finish, and the leather case keeps the edge safe whether it lives in a drawer or travels with you. A few minutes of care and a knife like this will outlast all of us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a one off.
