Japanese Nakiri Knife

The Nakiri is a versatile and iconic Japanese vegetable knife, perfect for any kitchen. With its flat, double-edged blade design, the Nakiri is unparalleled in its ability to maintain contact with the cutting board during each stroke. This feature is especially beneficial when chopping vegetables, as it minimizes frustrating cuts that leave ingredients hanging on a thread.

Whether you're prepping greens for a salad or chopping vegetables for a main dish, a handcrafted Nakiri knife transforms simple tasks into culinary art. Its sharp edge and ergonomic design ensure a comfortable, precise slicing experience.

Crafted in Japan

Proudly manufactured in Japan, this Nakiri knife is equipped with a premium Western-style handle that extends to the full tang, seamlessly blending with the hand for intuitive and fluid handling. The hammered texture of the blade reduces friction and prevents food from sticking, while the knifemaking expertise of master artisans ensures a unique, one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

Maintenance and Handling

To keep your Nakiri knife in top condition, appreciate the traditional Japanese values that emphasize a sharp edge. Sharpen and hone the blade using only water whetstones. Hand wash and dry immediately, especially after working with acidic ingredients. Extend its lifespan by avoiding contact with bones, nutshells, and frozen foods.
