The Nakiri is the traditional Japanese vegetable knife. The straight blade makes it ideal for precise work such as julienne, as well as fine slicing and dicing. The deep blade also means it is the perfect tool for slicing through harder, bigger root vegetables like squash. These stunning handcrafted knives are constructed with 32 layers of Damascus steel surrounding a cutting core of SG-2 (R2) steel with a Rockwell hardness of 62 HRC. These knives are made by Shiro Kamo. The handles are beautifully designed with flower detail in the rivets and rounded for comfort. The handle is made from desert iron wood.

These knives are custom made and as they are completely handmade they can differ very slightly from knife to knife – the one in the image is an example so please email for a current photo of the stock.

All Kin Knives come with a lifetime guarantee as long as they are treated correctly in accordance with our care instructions.
