Traditional Japanese craftsmanship

Narihira knives are rooted in proud Japanese craft traditions where precision and material quality are essential. The blades are made from high-quality stainless steel that retains its sharpness and delivers clean, controlled cuts. The refined balance between blade and handle ensures optimal control – even during long working hours in the kitchen.

Each knife is the result of a meticulous production process where every detail matters. Narihira represents the best of Japanese knife culture – without compromising on functionality or ease of use.

Designed for professional performance

Narihira is built to perform at the highest level – whether you are cutting meat, chopping vegetables or filleting fish. The sharp edge and ergonomic design make the knives ideal for precision work, where every cut counts. The lightweight construction reduces fatigue and provides full control throughout the workflow.

The series offers everything from versatile chef’s knives and utility knives to specialised santoku and vegetable knives, allowing you to build a complete collection that suits your needs.

Care and maintenance

To get the best out of your Narihira knives, we recommend regular sharpening and proper cleaning. Always wash the knives by hand with mild soap and dry them immediately afterwards. Avoid dishwashers, as they can damage the fine edge and the handle’s structure.

With proper care, your Narihira knives will retain their sharpness, balance and beauty for many years – exactly as one would expect from genuine Japanese quality.
