Overview: Nigara VG-XEOS Polished Tsuchime Nakiri 165mm
The Nigara VG-XEOS Polished Tsuchime Nakiri 165mm combines Nigara Hamono’s long forging heritage with a modern stainless steel blade built for precise, low-maintenance vegetable preparation. Its tall, flat nakiri profile gives excellent knuckle clearance and clean board contact for push cutting, chopping and fine slicing.
The polished tsuchime finish brings out the blade’s layered stainless Damascus pattern, while the compact 165mm edge keeps the knife controlled and nimble. At 52mm tall and 189g, it has a confident feel without becoming cumbersome.
Handle Options
- No Handle / Blade Only: Supplied with the exposed tang, ready for your own custom wa-handle.
- Amboyna Burl & Buffalo Horn: Rich burl figuring with a traditional buffalo horn ferrule.
- Cypress & Buffalo Horn: Distinctive cypress grain paired with a traditional buffalo horn ferrule.
- Blue-Green Prisma Custom Handle: A premium resin-and-wood handle with vivid blue and green tones.
- Red Prisma Custom Handle: A premium resin-and-wood handle with warm red tones.
- Purple-Pink Prisma Custom Handle: A premium resin-and-wood handle with vibrant purple and pink tones.
Each configuration is individually photographed. The blade-only option is supplied without a handle; measurements and weight may differ from the handled versions.
