Yoshihiro Nakiri Japanese Vegetable Knife Ebony Handle

Yoshihiro Cutlery offers handcrafted premium Japanese kitchen knives, crafted by artisans with centuries of lineage in the art of forging. The techniques used in creating these knives date back to medieval Japanese sword smiths, combining tradition with modern innovation.

The Nakiri Vegetable Knife is a popular choice among chefs for its flat cutting edge and double-edged design, allowing for precise cuts without ingredients sticking to the blade. Its handcrafted Octagonal Ebony wood handle is suitable for both left and right-handed users, with an optional Lacquered Magnolia wood Saya Cover for safe storage.

The blade of the Nakiri knife is made of exceptional Blue Steel #2 core, renowned for its edge retention and sharpness. The Kurouchi Stainless Cladding provides moisture resistance without compromising sharpness. Proper care involves sharpening with water whetstones, hand washing, and immediate drying when working with acidic ingredients.

Yoshihiro's Kurouchi Stainless Clad Knives are protected by two layers of Kurouchi stainless steel, ensuring durability while maintaining a sharp cutting edge. The traditional Kurouchi finish on the stainless cladding combines Japanese forging techniques with modern metallurgy, resulting in a unique and visually appealing blade.

The Nakiri knife's design and construction reflect Japanese craftsmanship and attention to detail, with an option to purchase a protective wooden sheath for added safety. Each knife is a one-of-a-kind work of art, handmade by master artisans in Japan.

To maintain the knife's sharpness and prevent oxidation, regular drying and oiling along the blade's edge are recommended. By using high-quality tools like the Nakiri knife from Yoshihiro Cutlery, chefs can elevate their cooking experience and create exceptional dishes with ease.
