Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this Damascus steel Nakiri knife blank blade come with a handle?

A: No — this listing is for the blank blade only (no handle included). This is intentional for DIY knife-making projects. You can attach your own custom handle material such as wood, stabilized wood, resin, G10, or any other material you prefer to the full-tang portion of the blade.

Q: What type of steel is used, and how hard is the blade?

A: The blade is constructed from 67 layers of hand-forged Damascus steel with a high-carbon steel core. The core hardness is rated at 60±2 HRC, which delivers excellent edge retention and durability for professional-grade kitchen use.

Q: What is the blade angle, and is it already sharpened?

A: Yes, the blade comes pre-ground at 15 degrees per side (30° total), following the traditional Japanese knife-making standard. The edges are factory-sharp and meet an international cutting force rating of 6.0–8.0 N, so minimal finishing work is needed once your handle is fitted.

Q: Is this blade suitable for everyday kitchen use once a handle is attached?

A: Absolutely. The DASHWAY Nakiri blank blade features a high-grade polished, super rust-resistant surface and is made from food-safe Damascus steel with no high-concern chemicals. Once you fit and secure your custom handle, it performs as a fully functional Japanese-style vegetable and kitchen knife.
