About the Shape - A Nakiri is a vegetable knife. Under utilized in the Western kitchen, the Nakiri’s flat blade is meant for the push/pull chopping of vegetables. Since the entire flat edge of the knife kisses the cutting board at once, you wont be turning the vegetable into an accordion. Accordion vegetables are still connected like a paper doll after you're “done” cutting them. To truly understand the awesomeness of a Nakiri we recommend making onion soup your first night with the knife. The ease of chopping will blow you away.

About Ryusen Fukakuryu KAI - Ryusen Hamono was founded in 1948 as a knife sharpening company. They worked with companies like Takefu Special Steel as early as the 1970s to develop high-quality knives made with stainless steel, at a time when most other knife makers were struggling to produce decent stainless steel knives. Now, they have expanded their collection of knives not only having sharpness and longevity in mind but with a sleek modern design.

The Fukakuryu KAI series brings stunning good looks and a 63-layer damascus blade forged from ATS-314 stainless steel. ATS-314 isn't an astromech droid, it's a high-end knife steel that balances superb sharpness and durability. The stabilized birch octagon handle is tapered toward the blade, creating the ultimate ergonomic grip. This thin, lightweight series handles like a surgical tool made for your kitchen.

Stainless steel is super handy because it doesn’t rust or stain easily like carbon steel. That said, remember it is stain-less, not stain-never. While it is much easier to care for than high-carbon steel, it does benefit from proper use: use it, wash it, dry it and put it away. Always avoid the dishwasher!

USE  

• Only cut food you can bite through with this knife. Hard foods can chip the blade. No olive pits, bones,  lobster shells, woody stems or parmesan rinds. Cutting frozen food is especially bad  because the cold will make hard steel even more brittle. If you wouldn’t chew it with  your own teeth, don’t cut it.  

• Your cutting surface is the biggest culprit of dulling your knife. Use wood. End  grain wood is especially good. Plastic can be fine too, but certainly not glass,  granite or bamboo. 

• The edge of your knife works best sliding forwards or backwards. Scraping the  knife edge sideways will dull or damage the edge. Instead, use the spine of the knife to move foods across the cutting board. Do not twist the edge or pry with the edge, this is the worst screwdriver you ever bought and these motions will certainly  damage the edge. Listen to the knife! If you can hear the edge making a “tink”  sound on the cutting board, change what you are doing.  

CLEANING  

• After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water  and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.  

• Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them  with some food safe wax.

STORING  

• Protect the edge for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover  will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or in a travel case.  

• The convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives.  Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the  edge from contacting the wood first.  

• The good ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected, so  can drawer inserts. Whatever the method, it should keep the edge from touching  anything else.

Sharp out of the box

"Used it for prep"

— Jarrell P. (5/5)

Who knew? This knife is awesome.

"I never owned a Nakiri and I probably don’t need one but once I used this one…. oh boy. What a joy this knife is. Sharp? Heck yeah. Extremely so. Light? Absolutely. It goes through leeks, tomatoes, peppers, onions and probably any vegetable you can think of. Fit and finish are first rate. Fantastic handle. Beautiful maple but also very ergonomic. Outstanding balance and it is a thing of beauty as well. Buy a sheath if you keep it in a drawer. I’m building my own magnetic countertop knife holder and I already made a leather sleeve for it. I highly recommend this knife. My next one will be the Ryusen Fukakuryu Sujihiki in 270mm."

Awesome knife

"Beautiful knife to use, cuts like a dream and looks good doing it. Shipping was very fast and packaging was great as well! Thank you"

— Ryan J. (5/5)

Phenomenal

"Absolutely beautiful out of the box. I’ve never held a knife that feels so special before. Exquisite forge welding. Can’t comment on performance however as I still need to wait before getting to use it!"

— Christopher M. (5/5)

Excellent Nakiri

"The blade shape of the Ryusen Fukakuryu nakiri looks amazing. The damascus finish is cool and the extended spine gives the knife a real badass 'anti-santoku' vibe. The blade is thin, very sharp and has good height; with a tiny bit of curve and a smooth cutting feel. The maple handle is octagonal faceted; that is tapered towards the blade. This taper makes it the best handle shape I've come across. I was open to a carbon steel knife but the handle feel and balance had me select this knife. Definitely worth trying the Ryusen Fukakuryu line knife for feel. And if you want a low maintenance (stainless steel) damascus finish knife; this would be an excellent choice."

— LESLIE R. (5/5)

Quality meets elegance!

"Couldn't be happier! The Fukakuryu Nikiri is balanced, has a great hand feel, extremely sharp, durable, and of course looks amazing. Easily my go-to knife now for vegetables and so much more!"

— Lucas M. (5/5)

— Sean T. (5/5)

"Japanese knifes’ reputation and excellent quality."
