Nakiri 185mm x 62mm AS/A2 Super Dammy with Spotted Gum Grip

If you blended the razor thin cutting edge of a Japanese Nakiri with the satisfying heft of a Chinese cleaver, added a little more height than is traditionally found on a Nakiri and packaged it all up with some very cool Oblivion Blades style and some of Jezz’s super dammy steel, this knife is what you would have created.

Iconic from the word go and an amazing performer on the board. The added weight feels so satisfying and yet this thing will cut translucent slices without breaking a sweat. Thin where it counts, the OB super dammy, a blend of Aogami Super and Aogami #2 hardened to 65HRC, takes an amazingly sharp edge, and is tough!

Jezz is a professionally trained chef and knows what makes a great culinary knife. The edge profile features a nice amount of flat for the chop, chop, chop and a touch of curve for the rock, rock, rock. At 185mm you also have a good amount of blade length for slicing if required.

Moving away from the edge, the profile takes some inspiration from a classic cleaver and with the signature OB tapered, round handle in Australian native spotted gum the knife has an instant classic feel about. Certainly, a high performance knife with an epically cool, vintage look about it.
