The Nakiri is Japan’s dedicated vegetable knife — instantly recognizable for its tall, rectangular profile and flat edge. While its shape may look different at first glance, it’s built with purpose.
Designed for clean, efficient push-cutting, the Nakiri excels at slicing, chopping, and dicing vegetables with precision and speed. Unlike a chef’s knife, it isn’t meant to rock. Instead, the flat edge stays parallel to the cutting board, delivering full contact with every cut — reducing accordion cuts and improving consistency.
If you prep vegetables regularly for salads, stir-fries, or batch cooking, this profile quickly becomes addictive.
The blunt tip enhances control and adds an extra layer of safety during fast prep, without sacrificing cutting power.
At the core is high-performance VG-MAX steel — the latest evolution in the VG family of premium stainless steels — known for:
-
Excellent wear resistance
-
Strong corrosion resistance
-
Fine grain structure for precise sharpening
-
Long-lasting edge retention
-
A refined 16° edge per side
The blade is protected by 68 micro-layers of Damascus cladding, which:
-
Reinforce and stabilize the core
-
Improve stain resistance
-
Add structural durability
-
Create a flowing layered pattern
A hammered tsuchime finish further enhances performance by reducing surface contact, helping food release more easily as you cut.
The walnut-finished, contoured PakkaWood handle offers:
-
A secure, ergonomic grip
-
Moisture resistance and durability
-
Comfort during extended prep
-
Excellent balance and control
Lightweight yet stable in hand, it allows for confident, repetitive vegetable work without fatigue.
For vegetable-heavy prep, few profiles are as efficient. The full flat edge maximizes board contact, improves precision, and speeds up repetitive chopping tasks.
