7.5" Nakiri Knife - Uliassi Series (X03)

If you're doing serious vegetable prep, a nakiri changes how you work at the board. The flat edge means the entire length of the blade contacts the surface on every stroke, so you're not rocking and leaving uncut ends behind. At 7.5 inches, this one is larger than the standard 6.8-inch nakiri, which gives you more usable blade when you're breaking down a head of cabbage, a daikon, or a butternut squash into the pieces you actually want.

The Push-Cut Specialist

A nakiri works by push-cutting straight down through the vegetable rather than rocking or drawing the blade. The flat geometry makes that motion fast and repeatable. This 7.5-inch version gives you enough blade length to split a whole napa cabbage or run a wide daikon across the board without repositioning. It's not a multi-purpose knife. It does one thing - vegetables - and does it faster than any knife with a curved belly will.

Damascus Cladding Over Powder Steel

The core is 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel, hardened to 62 HRC. That hardness gives the flat edge the kind of keenness that makes push-cutting through dense root vegetables feel effortless rather than forced. Wrapped in 73 layers of Damascus cladding for a blade that looks as deliberate as the work it's built for. Rosewood handle, wooden sheath included.
