7.3" Nakiri Knife - Yu Series (B13R)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4.52 Stars (21 reviews)

The Yu Series Nakiri is a flat-edged Japanese vegetable knife built for full-contact push cuts. The 185mm blade is forged from 67 layers of Damascus steel around a 10Cr15CoMoV core, hardened to 60±2 HRC and ground to 15° per side. The tall, straight profile clears the board edge-to-edge in a single stroke, so onions, herbs and root veg fall away cleanly without the rocking motion a chef's knife needs.

If you love salads, stir-frys, or soup prep, the Nakiri will quickly become your favorite tool. With its straight edge and flat, squared-off tip, this Japanese-style blade is designed for one thing: push-cutting vegetables without them clinging together like an accordion.

The Push-Cut Specialist

Unlike a curved chef knife that rocks, the Nakiri is designed to make full contact with the cutting board. This allows for clean, precise vertical chops through greens, carrots, and onions. The wide blade also acts as a scoop, so you can quickly transfer your prepped ingredients to the wok or pot.

67-Layer Damascus Steel: The blade is crafted from 67 layers of high-carbon Damascus steel with a 10Cr15CoMoV core, offering exceptional sharpness, durability, and a beautiful raindrop pattern.

The Vegetable Knife That Lands Flat Every Time

The Yu Series Nakiri is purpose-built for one job: cutting vegetables fast and clean. Its flat 185mm edge stays in full contact with the board through the whole stroke, so each push cut severs completely with no accordion slices left hanging. The tall blade gives knuckle clearance and doubles as a scoop to carry prep to the pan. A 67-layer Damascus exterior over a 10Cr15CoMoV core balances a keen, hard-wearing edge with the toughness daily veg prep demands.

Why A Nakiri

Flat Edge, Full Contact, Clean Through

A chef's knife rocks; a nakiri pushes straight down. Because the Yu's edge is dead flat, the whole length meets the board at once, so you slice all the way through in a single motion instead of leaving the last sliver attached. The 7.3-inch length and tall profile handle big jobs — cabbage, squash, a board of onions — without crowding your knuckles. Ground to 15° per side, it parts skins and stalks with minimal pressure.

The Steel

67-Layer Damascus Over A 10Cr15CoMoV Core

The cutting core is 10Cr15CoMoV — a high-carbon, cobalt-and-molybdenum stainless that takes a fine edge and holds it. It is clad in 67 layers of Damascus steel for the visible raindrop pattern and lateral support. Vacuum heat treatment with a deep-freeze cycle brings the blade to 60±2 HRC, the sweet spot where the edge stays sharp through heavy veg prep yet resists chipping on the board. Hand wash only — this is not a dishwasher knife.

In The Hand

Rosewood And Full Tang

The handle is rosewood, fitted to a full tang that runs the length of the grip for weight behind the edge and balance over the pinch point. At 257g the knife feels planted, not heavy — enough mass to power through dense vegetables on its own, light enough for a long board of prep without fatigue.

FAQs

What is a nakiri knife used for?

A nakiri is a dedicated vegetable knife. Its flat edge cuts straight down through to the board in a single push, so it dices onions, slices cabbage and juliennes carrots faster and cleaner than a rocking chef's knife.

Why is the blade flat instead of curved?

The flat profile keeps the whole edge in contact with the board through the cut. That means each push severs completely instead of leaving the last sliver attached, which is what happens with a curved belly.

What steel is the Yu Series Nakiri made from?

The cutting core is 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless, clad in 67 layers of Damascus steel. It is hardened to 60±2 HRC with vacuum heat treatment and a deep-freeze cycle.

How sharp is the edge?

It is ground to 15° per side, a keen Japanese-style angle that parts vegetable skins and stalks with light pressure.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?

No. Hand wash and dry it after use. The dishwasher will damage the edge and the rosewood handle.

Is the handle full tang?

Yes. The full tang runs the length of the rosewood handle for balance and weight behind the edge.

What is in the box?

The knife ships in a magnetic gift box and is covered by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
