Regalia Nakiri (Usuba) Vegetable Chef Knife: 6-Inch Japanese AUS10 67-layer high Carbon Stainless Damascus Steel Asian Vegetable Cleaver Shaped Blade with Hammered Finish, G-10 Handle

The Nakiri: Defining the Vegetable Knife

The Nakiri, literally meaning "vegetable knife" in Japanese, has become an essential tool in any Asian kitchen and is now gaining popularity among Western vegetarians and home cooks alike. Designed specifically for efficient chopping, slicing, and mincing of leafy greens, vegetables, and fruits, the Nakiri offers a range of benefits:

Optimal Knuckle Clearance: The square blade allows for easy scooping and transfer of chopped ingredients, with ample space to accommodate the knuckles of the free hand during "tap chopping," "push cutting," or "pull cutting" techniques.

Consistent Shape Retention: Unlike other blade shapes, the square Nakiri blade maintains its form even after years of constant sharpening, ensuring a lasting, high-performing edge.

Straight, Smooth Cuts: Unlike the single-beveled Usuba or heavier Chinese cleaver, the Nakiri features a double-bevel design for straight, even, and precise cuts, without the rocking motion required for other knives.

Introducing the Regalia Emperor Series Nakiri

Forged from a solid slab of Japanese AUS-10V "super-steel," the Regalia Emperor Nakiri boasts a cutting core with a Rockwell hardness of 62+, ensuring maximum edge retention and resistance to dulling or chipping. The blade is meticulously honed to a razor-sharp 8-12 degree angle, achieving the perfect cut every time.

Clad with 33 layers of high-carbon stainless Damascus steel on each side, this knife is protected against rusting and corrosion, with a unique, one-of-a-kind pattern that distinguishes each blade. The hammered "tsuchime" finish not only adds aesthetic appeal but also reduces suction and drag, allowing for efficient, uninterrupted work.

Ergonomic and Durable Design

The Regalia Emperor Nakiri features a tapered bolster that encourages a natural pinch grip, providing ultimate comfort and ease of use. The bolster's geometry ensures perfect balance at the knife's natural handling point, while also allowing easy access for sharpening the entire blade down to the heel.

The military-grade G-10 Garolite handle is ergonomically designed for long hours of food preparation, offering heat and cold resistance, as well as immunity to water absorption, warping, and the accumulation of germs or bacteria. Triple-riveted for unparalleled toughness, the handle includes a center Rosetta-style rivet for a touch of elegance.
