Narihira Basis Vegetable Knife - Sharp precision for cooking

The Narihira Basis Vegetable Knife, featuring a 16.5 cm blade, is an economical solution crafted with Japanese knife quality. Made from single-layer high carbon steel with a hardness of 59 HrC and fitted with an elegant light wooden handle, this knife strikes a great balance between sharpness, durability, and price. Weighing 200 grams, it provides excellent control during use.

Ideal for chopping, slicing, and dividing larger vegetables and fruits, the knife also excels at managing larger quantities of herbs in the kitchen.

Japanese quality steel for everyday use

The Narihira series is Tojiro's budget-friendly knife line, where the steel quality is specifically designed to deliver a good edge at an advantageous price. These knives are produced in the East and undergo quality control in Japan, ensuring reliable functionality. Although the steel may not be as hard as that found in Tojiro's more expensive series, you still receive a knife with excellent cutting properties for daily cooking.

Practical advantages in the kitchen

One of the major benefits of this knife is that it is easier to maintain than knives made with harder steel. It can be easily sharpened with a regular honing steel, making it ideal for both home cooks and professionals seeking a reliable tool without the investment in expensive Japanese knives. The lightweight wooden handle offers a good grip, and the wide blade makes it easy to gather chopped ingredients.

Maintenance and care

To preserve the knife's sharpness and lifespan, it should always be hand-washed and dried immediately after use. Avoid the dishwasher, as it can damage both the blade and the handle. Although this knife is easier to maintain than pricier models, regular use of a honing steel will extend the time between actual sharpenings. When the time comes for a thorough sharpening, we offer professional knife sharpening services with over 85 years of experience.

With the Narihira Basis Vegetable Knife, you get:

• An economical Japanese quality knife with a great edge
• Easy maintenance with a regular honing steel
• Versatile functionality for vegetables, fruits, and herbs
