Nakiri Knives – The Perfect Vegetable Knife for Precision Cutting

What is a Nakiri Knife?

A Nakiri knife is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife, designed for effortless slicing, dicing, and chopping. With its straight, double-edged blade, it allows for clean, even cuts without the need for a rocking motion. Whether you’re a professional chef or a home cook, a Nakiri kitchen knife is the ultimate tool for precise vegetable prep.

Why Choose a Nakiri Knife?

🔪 Perfect for Vegetables – The flat edge and straight blade ensure full contact with the cutting board, giving you clean, smooth cuts without crushing delicate ingredients.
🔪 Faster & More Efficient – The wide blade makes scooping and transferring ingredients quick and easy.
🔪 Lightweight & Balanced – Unlike bulky Western knives, a Nakiri knife feels comfortable and well-balanced, reducing hand fatigue.
🔪 Razor-Sharp Edge – Our Damascus Nakiri knives are made with high-carbon steel, ensuring long-lasting sharpness and precision.

Nakiri vs. Santoku – What’s the Difference?

Many wonder whether they should choose a Nakiri knife or a Santoku knife. Here’s how they compare:
✅ Nakiri Knife – Best for precise vegetable cutting, thanks to its straight blade.
✅ Santoku Knife – More versatile, ideal for meat, fish, and vegetables with a slightly curved blade.

If you’re looking for the ultimate vegetable knife, a Nakiri knife is the best choice for clean, efficient slicing.

How to Sharpen a Nakiri Knife

  1. Use a whetstone (1000 grit for sharpening, 3000-8000 for polishing).
  2. Hold the blade at a 15-degree angle for precise sharpening.
  3. Always hand wash and dry immediately to prevent rust.
