The Nakiri

The nakiri - meaning "vegetable cutter" - is one of the most distinctive knives in the Japanese kitchen. Its flat, rectangular blade is designed specifically for push-cutting vegetables: no rocking, no pulling, just clean downward strokes that produce even slices from root to tip. At 160mm, this is a compact and nimble nakiri that handles everything from fine julienne to rough chopping with equal ease. The Reigetsu line brings traditional Japanese aesthetics to the blade - natural wood handle, clean stainless steel, and a double-bevel edge that suits both right and left-handed cooks. The stainless steel construction keeps maintenance simple, while the natural wood handle gives it a warmth and character that sets it apart from modern synthetic alternatives.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only, never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after washing - natural wood handles are sensitive to prolonged moisture
• Hone regularly to maintain the edge
• Sharpen with a whetstone or professional sharpening service when needed
• Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the blade
