About the Shape - A Nakiri is a vegetable knife. Underutilized 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.
About the Maker - Tamahagane is a knifemaker out of Tsubame Sanjo, known for creating high-quality blades at a very reasonable price. Their knives feature a modern, minimal aesthetic that will look good in any kitchen, making them perfect gifts. Chefs love them for their durability and ease of care, while they're popular among home cooks dipping their toes into the world of Japanese knives because of their superb sharpness.
This series from Tamahagane is made from VG5 stainless steel. Similar to its sibling, VG10, VG5 keeps a great edge but VG5 is more durable and easier to sharpen than other Japanese stainless steels. This makes it perfect for giving to folks who may be harder on their knives, or for use in a commercial kitchen where someone else might be borrowing your knife. The layered Micarta handle is both gorgeous and super durable.

"I've had this nakiri for a few months now, and I use it quite frequently. I feel that the blade does not hold the edge as long as my VG-10 knifes, even if they have the same nominal hardness. However, the handle feels very confortable in my hand and it's very nicely balanced (it seems to have a metal rod in the handle to push the balance back a bit), so I find myself reaching for it more frequently than my gyuto, which feels a bit sharper."
"Was able to trim a beef tenderloin with little loss or meat. Was able to slice the Silver skin with no effort. Will for sure be buying another in the near future"
"Lightweight,well balanced,and feels good in my hand"
"Love it!"
"This knife was a birthday present! I LOVE it!! The handle is smooth and the wood is very rich looking. Feels very good to handle and cuts like a dream… thin very fine julienne slices!! I think I might need another one!!!"
