Japanese knife-making at its finest, with superior sharpness

The SPG2 powder steel core of the Nakiri knife gives you a cutting performance beyond the ordinary. This advanced steel retains its sharpness significantly longer than conventional knives, meaning fewer interruptions for re-sharpening during cooking. The 99 layers of Damascus steel create not only a beautiful wave pattern on the blade, but also contribute to its strength and flexibility, enabling precise work even on demanding cutting tasks.

Comfort and control in every cut

The octagonal handle in stabilised poplar wood sits perfectly in the hand, giving you complete control of the knife even during extended use. The wood is vacuum-treated to resist moisture and temperature fluctuations, ensuring a long service life even in a busy kitchen. The rectangular blade enables a straight, downward cutting motion ideal for vegetables, delivering consistent, precise results every time – whether you are cutting fine julienne or larger chunks.

Technical specifications that ensure quality

With a blade length of 155 mm, the knife is perfectly balanced for optimal control. The high hardness of 62 HRC ensures the blade stays sharp for a long time, whilst the stainless properties of SPG2 steel keep maintenance to a minimum. Every individual example of this knife is unique thanks to the poplar wood's natural grain pattern, making it both a functional tool and a work of craftsmanship in your kitchen.

Frequently asked questions

How do I best maintain my Nakiri knife?

Hand wash the knife with mild soapy water immediately after use and dry it thoroughly. Avoid the dishwasher. Sharpen the knife regularly with a whetstone to maintain optimal sharpness.

What is the difference between a Nakiri knife and a standard chef's knife?

The Nakiri knife has a rectangular shape without a pointed tip, making it ideal for straight, downward cuts through vegetables. The thin blade and straight edge allow for more precise cuts compared to the rounded edge of a chef's knife, which often requires a rocking motion.
