Description+

A 17 cm nakiri built for one thing: vegetables. The edge is flat, so it meets the board along its whole length. Nothing stays half-attached, and you cut straight down without rocking the blade.

Nakiri means leaf cutter. Its tall, square blade lets you scoop up what you've cut and sweep it straight into the pan. If most of your cooking starts with a cabbage, a bunch of carrots or a pile of herbs, this is the fastest knife on the board.

Questions, answered

Everything to know about the Yuki Nakiri.

Who is the nakiri for?
Anyone whose cooking starts with vegetables. The flat edge meets the board along its whole length, so you cut straight down without rocking and nothing stays half-attached.
Can I cut meat or fish with it?
Boneless meat and fish, yes: the edge is just as sharp. But with no pointed tip, it is not made for detail work or filleting. For that, pair it with the Hana Petty.
Is it really made in Japan?
Yes. Every Nijiwa knife is crafted in Japan, with a 67-layer Damascus blade around a hard 10Cr15CoMoV steel core and an olive wood handle.
How do I look after it?
Wash it by hand and dry it straight away, never in the dishwasher. Use a wooden or plastic board. The 60–62 HRC core holds its edge for months, and a few minutes on a whetstone once or twice a year brings it back.
How long does delivery take?
Delivery is free across the UK, by DHL, in 7 days. You receive a tracking link by email as soon as your knife ships.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days, unused and in its original box. Return shipping is paid by you. If it arrives damaged or faulty, send us a photo and we replace it or refund you in full. Details in our refund policy.
