Our petite but powerful nakiri knife delivers the cutting precision you need for food prep jobs big and small. Thinner and lighter than a cleaver, its double-beveled edge and extremely hard blade forged from Damascus steel make quick work of fruits and vegetables without bruising the most delicate ingredients. Perfectly balanced with a rectangular shape and blunted tip, it’s designed to be used with one hand or two for maximum versatility. So whether you’re mincing garlic, slicing tomatoes or chopping an onion, our nakiri blade makes it look (and feel) easy. Hybrid construction combines fundamental Japanese knife-making techniques with durable German engineering principles. Your go-to knife for effortless everyday prep. Forged blades comprise 67 layers of Japanese Damascus steel for a harder blade–a 60+ Rockwell rating. Meticulously hand-sharpened by craftspeople using the three-step Honbazuke method–a sharpening process that results in a super-sharp, 12-degree edge. Stunning green Pakkawood handle–infused with resin to increase resistance to cracking–is contoured for amazing comfort and grip. Steel bolster and full hybrid tang construction improve balance for a more controlled cut. *Free shipping to contiguous US

Avery W. ★★★★★

The double-beveled edge glides through carrots and onions like they're butter, making prep work feel effortless. For a petite knife, it handles large squash surprisingly well without any sticking.

Violet J. ★★★★★

The double-beveled edge slices through onions without any resistance, and the blade's hardness means it holds that sharpness for weeks. I've never had such precise control with a knife this lightweight.

Penelope F. ★★★★★

My old chef's knife was slipping on carrots, but this nakiri's double-beveled edge cuts through them like butter—the thinner blade makes all the difference. Cleanup is a breeze too, as the hard steel doesn't seem to stain.
