The Kurai Niji models are renowned for their beautiful and colorful handles. Each piece of stabilized wood is crafted with distinct color patterns, ensuring uniqueness. With the addition of the Kurouchi Damascus blade featuring an impressive edge geometry, these knives strike the ideal balance between aesthetics, performance, and cost.

Nakiri knives are highly known for their long and flat blade. They tend to be fabricated with a higher heel compared to other models and are extremely popular for chopping vegetables. They are the ideal candidate for cutting long veggies in a single chop, but also great for a push or pull cut into harder vegetables. The square shape allows you to easily grip your fingers around the handle with no fear of busting your knuckles when chopping your vegetables.

Many chefs that regularly work with vegetables and fruits consider their Nakiri a primary knife in the kitchen.
