Yoshihiro ZAD Series AUS-10 45 Layers Damascus Nakiri – Stainless Steel Chef’s Nakiri with Excellent Sharpness and Edge Retention
This Yoshihiro Nakiri is crafted with AUS-10 stainless steel at the core of the blade, offering excellent sharpness, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. The blade is clad in 45 layers of Damascus steel, combining durability with a traditional and elegant appearance.
AUS-10 is a high-quality Japanese stainless steel widely used in professional-grade kitchen knives. It is known for its excellent balance of hardness and toughness, making it easier to sharpen compared to many high-end stainless steels while still maintaining strong edge retention and corrosion resistance.
Compared to VG-10, AUS-10 is often considered slightly easier to sharpen and more forgiving in everyday use, making it a practical choice for both professional chefs and serious home cooks who value maintainability and performance.
