KYOKU Samurai Series - 7 Nakiri Japanese Vegetable Knife

Inspired by the honor and integrity of master Japanese bladesmiths, Kyoku's mission is to make high-end Japanese cutlery affordable for professional chefs and home cooks worldwide. Our passion for culinary creativity keeps us on the cutting edge of handcrafted cutlery.

After the samurai declined in 1868, Japanese swordsmiths applied their skills to cutlery with unprecedented innovation. Kyoku was born out of this rich heritage, aiming to bring the excellence of traditional Japanese blade-making to kitchens around the globe.

The Kyoku Nakiri vegetable knife is a Japanese-style knife that combines the features of a chef's knife with the versatility of a vegetable cleaver. Characterized by its flat profile and squared-off tip, the Nakiri is ideal for push cutting and chopping, though not as well-suited for rock cutting.

Kyoku Nakiri knives feature a thin, wide blade that produces fine and even cuts. The hollow edge design provides less drag while cutting. Cryogenically treated using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method, the blade achieves incredible hardness while retaining flexibility and corrosion resistance.

Following traditional sword-making practices, Kyoku creates wonderfully practical knives with unique, stunning, and functional textures. With various uses and incredible edge-retention, Kyoku knives are ideal for professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts alike.

The ruthlessly sharp edge is handcrafted by seasoned artisans to a mirror polish and painstakingly manufactured for incredible hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. The dense Pakkawood handle provides an ergonomic grip and long-lasting service life, adorned with an elegant mosaic pin to reveal its luxurious identity.

The blade's full-tang metal construction extends through the handle, allowing the knife to withstand punishing daily use without sacrificing its first-rate handling and performance. Kyoku offers a lifetime warranty, ensuring free exchange or return if the item is defective.

Kyoku's Samurai Series includes a 7" Nakiri Vegetable Knife, 7" Vegetable Cleaver, 8" Chef Knife, 10.5" Sushi Sashimi Knife, and a 5" Non-Serrated Steak Knife Set. Each knife is crafted with superior Japanese steel and features the brand's signature design elements, delivering exceptional quality and performance for all your culinary needs.
