Blade Type

The Nakiri knife, revered in Japanese culinary traditions, is engineered for exceptional vegetable cutting. Featuring a distinct, straight-edged, and rectangular blade, it excels in creating uniform, precise cuts and aesthetic presentation. Its technical design ensures efficiency and precision, making it a valuable tool for both professional chefs and home cooks.

Steel Type

Japanese White Steel #2, a traditional high-carbon steel, is cherished for its purity and fine grain structure, enabling razor-sharp edges, at the cost of being reactive. It is one of the easiest steels to sharpen, but cannot be left wet for even short periods otherwise rust spots can occur. If you’re fastidious in your knife maintenance, this knife steel can be extremely rewarding to use.

Recommended Maintenance

Store it in a dry environment using magnetic strips, knife rolls, or sayas. Avoid hitting hard or frozen objects and twisting the blade while cutting. These knives are not dishwasher safe. Clean with hot water and a soft cloth, and dry immediately after use to prevent rust spots on the high carbon steel. For more information please read the blog below.

Excellence in cutting

This knife is outstanding. It feels great in hand, just the right size and weight and cuts like a razor.
I'm looking forward to preparing the next meal just so I can use it 😀

This thing IS THE BUSINESS!

Words can't explain how amazing this knife is to use and gaze at! It's my second bunka and my go to knife for everyday prep. Gyuto's aren't getting a look in at the moment. I LOVE it. Thanks Chefs Edge 👊🏽

I am in love with this knife 😍

Being FIFO, there generally isn't much joy working as a chef. But having this beautiful knife makes me giddy, and excited to cut a capsicum. Currently fighting the urge to buy her a friend....a battle I am losing. 😳 Maybe a little nakiri sister 🤔. The guy that assisted me was lovely and insightful. For someone who just wanted a pretty knife, I'm regretting not doing this sooner, the knife just falls through things with little effort. ❤️

Razor Sharp Service

I bought a knife for a staff member just before Christmas. I ordered it on line and then picked it up in store. The store was flat out however, because of the great organisation I simply gave my name, receipt number and I was out the door. Awesome

Birthday present

My son was overjoyed with his present. He called me the next day to tell me he never had the joy of cutting his vegetables as ever before. So overall a very successfull experience. Maybe I’ll even buy one myself soon.

Knife Care

This knife is made from a high-carbon steel and as such, will require a little more care than a regular off-the-shelf knife. It must be dried shortly after use, as prolonged exposure to moisture can cause rust spots to appear. A very light coat of oil during storage also helps to prevent rust spots. A patina (colouration and seasoning of the steel) will occur with use.
