The details

Handcrafted by award-winning cutlery maker Cangshan, the MAYA collection is a celebration of beauty, precision, and performance. This 7-inch nakiri features a longer cutting edge, making it ideal for larger produce and faster prep tasks.

The tall, straight blade is designed for smooth push cuts and rapid chopping, while providing excellent knuckle clearance for added comfort and control.

Forged from 67 layers of proprietary X-7 Damascus steel, the blade offers exceptional sharpness, durability, and edge retention. Hand-sharpened to a precise 16 angle, it ensures clean, effortless cuts every time.

With a Rockwell hardness of 60 1, this knife maintains its edge through repeated use. The octagonal African blackwood handle provides a secure, ergonomic grip with a refined, natural finish.

Each knife includes a dark walnut magnetic sheath, designed to protect the blade while elevating storage and presentation.
