Vegetable Knife, 16.5 cm, Narihira

Narihira Basis Vegetable Knife – sharp precision in the kitchen

The Narihira Basis Vegetable Knife with a 16.5 cm blade is an affordable solution in Japanese knife quality. Made with a single-layer hard steel at 59 HRC and fitted with an elegant light wood handle, this knife strikes an excellent balance between sharpness, durability, and price. It weighs 200 grams, giving you good control during use.

Ideal for chopping, slicing, and dividing larger vegetables and fruits. The knife also works exceptionally well for handling large quantities of herbs in the kitchen.

Japanese quality steel for everyday use

The Narihira range is Tojiro's economy knife line, where the steel quality has been specially developed to deliver excellent cutting performance at a competitive price. The knives are produced in the East and undergo quality control in Japan, ensuring reliable functionality. Although the steel is not as hard as in Tojiro's more expensive ranges, you still get a knife with outstanding cutting performance for daily cooking.

Practical advantages in the kitchen

One of the great advantages of this knife is that it is easier to maintain than knives with harder steel. It can easily be honed on an ordinary honing steel, making it ideal for both home cooks and professionals who want a reliable tool without investing in expensive Japanese knives. The lightweight wood handle provides a secure grip, and the wide blade makes it easy to scoop up sliced ingredients.

Maintenance and care

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

With the Narihira Basis Vegetable Knife you get:

• An affordable Japanese quality knife with excellent cutting performance
• Easy maintenance with an ordinary honing steel
• Versatile functionality for vegetables, fruits, and herbs
