Kisuke Nakiri - THE vegetable knife

This line of knives from Kisuke Manaka is an extraordinary creation, which is currently not found anywhere else on the market. The knives are unique in material composition and processing technique and combine innovation with tradition. For the Nakiri with a blade length of 170mm, Kisuke uses the ATS-34 blade steel, a comparatively modern steel that is otherwise only found as a mono steel blade for knives. However, Manaka-san has managed to machine this steel so that the blade reaches a hardness level of up to 64 HRC. Normally, Hitachi's ATS-34 steel is only suitable for knives with a hardness level of up to 59 HRC. If the steel is brought to the hardness of 64 HRC through the hardening process and used for knives, it is too brittle for mono blades and the structure of the metal crystals poses a great risk that the blade will break under mechanical stress. This limitation was the incentive for Kisuke to forge a 3-ply traditional Japanese knife based on ATS-34 core steel, which achieves the highest possible hardness of 64 HRC. ATS-34 steel is very demanding when forged in a manual process. This is due to the fact that the material can be easily destroyed during forming by mechanical stress such as hammer blows. This circumstance is also the main reason why ATS-34 is often only found on the market as an industrial product in the form of mono steel blade knives and correspondingly lower hardness. Through special processes and a lot of experience, Kisuke has managed to find a sheath steel that creates a perfect knife. The ATS-34 blade steel is encased in a sheath of softer stainless steel (SUS steel) based on the Warikomi Awase principle. The more flexible outer sheath steel can thereby mechanically relieve and at the same time stabilize the hard ATS-34 blade core, which counteracts brittleness. These knives sharpen well and are comparable in hardness to the White#1, White#2, Blue#1 and Blue#2 steels, but are much less susceptible to corrosion.

The Nakiri is the Japanese version of the vegetable knife and can be used for rough preparations as well as for fine and precise work.

ATS-34 is related to Gin3 steel and is one of the stainless steels
