Product specifications

Tokuzo Knives Original Nakiri Knife.
The nakiri is a traditional Japanese knife designed primarily for vegetable preparation. Well suited for home kitchens, it is an excellent tool for everyday cooking when working with a variety of vegetables.

Its straight blade profile allows the edge to contact the cutting board evenly, helping achieve clean, precise cuts and making vegetable slicing and chopping especially efficient.

With its relatively short blade length, the knife offers easy control and is comfortable for detailed work performed close to the hand. The handle is crafted from natural wood, providing a warm, secure grip that allows for relaxed use even during extended cooking sessions.

The blade is finished in the traditional Tosa kurouchi style, forged from steel and shaped by hand by skilled blacksmiths—an increasingly rare form of craftsmanship today. The cutting edge area is also carefully darkened, creating a beautiful and distinctive finish.
