This is the ultimate tool for vegetable lovers. The 7-inch Nakiri is a traditional Japanese knife designed for one purpose: making vegetable prep effortless, fast, and precise. Its flat, straight blade is perfect for rapid, clean "push-cuts," giving you paper-thin slices and perfectly uniform dice every time.
The Vegetable Specialist
Forget the rocking motion of a chef knife. The Nakiri's flat edge makes full contact with the cutting board on every stroke, ensuring you cut all the way through herbs and leafy greens in a single pass (no more accordion-cut celery). Plus, the wide, flat blade doubles as a handy bench scraper—simply use it to scoop your prepped ingredients and transfer them straight from the board to the pan.
Performance Meets Classic Style
At its heart is a high-performance 10Cr15CoMoV steel core, vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. This hard-cutting core takes a razor-sharp edge and holds it. The stunning, octagonal "Retro" handle is crafted from a classic combination of deep red wood and genuine black buffalo horn, providing a secure, comfortable grip and timeless, elegant control.
