TLDR ⓘ - Too long; didn't read - A quick summary that cuts to the chase.
One of our top knives for both new cooks and giving as a gift. The line combines looks, comfort and performance making it really accessible for everyone!

About Haruyuki Goma - Haruyuki knives are beloved among professionals and home cooks alike for their reliable, high-performance blades. they’re perfect for folks buying their first Japanese knife, and the performance is impressive enough for knife nerds like me to get a thrill from using it!

The Haruyuki Goma is one we’ve had since the early days of Knifewear, and it continues to be a staff and customer favourite. The stainless steel blade is made from a material called VG10, which is super sharp and easy to care for. This stunning blade sports a hammered ‘tsuchime’ finish that transitions to a polished bevel with layers of damascus steel. The effect is like waves crashing on a rocky beach under the moonlight. 

Haruyuki knives are made in a way that combines ancient Japanese tradition with efficient modern technology: blades are forged by machine for unparalleled precision, consistency, and affordability. Skilled artisans complete each step lovingly, from polishing and sharpening the blade to affixing its handle. 

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 won't 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.

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.

Reviews

Goma Nakiri knife gift

"Person who received this Haruyuki Goa Nakiri knife broke out in great smiles because he appreciated the wonderful quality of the knife. Thrilled!"

Linda C. (5/5)

I love this knife

"Seriously, it's awesome. Would buy again X10. Beautiful and well made."

Noah B. (5/5)

Not very sharp out of the box.

"Nice knife, little disappointed with how sharp it was out of the box."

Adrian B. (3/5)

The weight is perfect, enough

"The weight is perfect, enough to feel expensive but more would get tiring on the wrist. The handle is comfortable as I prefer western handles but that's a personal choice. The wood grain is stunning, photos don't do it justice. The hammered look gives it character. Received very sharp. The flat blade gives extra contact to the cutting board so the knife slides instead of rocking."

Francois M. (5/5)

Amazing knife, sliced tomatoes like

"Amazing knife, sliced tomatoes like butter, super thinly sliced. Great store and staff, learned a lot, and got several knives sharpened and repaired a broken tip for a very reasonable price."

Scott L. (5/5)

Delightful!

"I’ve had the same chef’s knife for over 20 years so using this knife has been a revelation. I cook mostly vegetarian so chop and lot of vegetables. I can’t believe how fast I can now mince garlic and parsley."

Hanna H. (5/5)

He keeps walking around saying he got the best knife

""my knife is so pretty", "look at my knife", "best knife" A very good birthday present indeed."

Christina B. (5/5)

Incredible

"Never owned a nakiri and this guy is incredible! Can’t imagine chopping an onion without this knife now 😜"

Andrew (5/5)

Great knife

"Easy to use and keeps edge"

Warren T. (5/5)

Best knife buying experience ever

"I don't think buying a knife can get any better than that. The person who helped me patiently waited while I stared at 3 different knives for over 10 minutes, wondering which one I should get; the one with a straight handle, the one with a curvy handle or the one with a straight handle, but in a slightly different color? All along she was smiling and trying to comfort me with her presence. I panicked and picked the one in the middle. Turns out my mom loves her birthday gift. Thank you Knifewear!"
