About Masutani - Masutani Hamono has been producing high-quality kitchen knives for four generations in Echizen city. Their goal is to create high-quality blades at an accessible price point for anyone, and they’ve nailed it. Their blades are super accessible and cut like a dream, being lovingly shaped, polished, and handled by grandfather, father, and son.
Working with stainless steels such as VG10 and VG1 ensures they take and keep an edge just as well as some of the fancier Japanese knives out there but aren’t as fragile or prone to rust as knives made from high-carbon steel. This furthers their accessibility, making them a valuable tool for anyone who wants to upgrade their kitchen toolkit. Typically finished with a Western-style riveted handle, called a ‘yo-handle’ in Japan, they have a confident feel without being as heavy as many Western-style knives. They feel well-balanced for professionals, home cooks, and even burnt-out retired chefs like me.
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.

"I absolutely love this knife. Chopping veggies is more fun & less of a chore. This knife was shown to me as I was waiting for my other knives to get sharpened & on a whim I bought it. Zero regrets! It’s my new favourite knife! (But shhhh don’t tell my other knives they aren’t my fave anymore)"
"This is the first knife I ever bought from Knifewear, before I even knew what they were all about. It was just recommended on America's Test Kitchen. Three years later, it still just FALLS through a carrot, without that little piece that usually snaps off when you're cutting carrots. Love using it."
"The blade is beautifully shaped for coarse to fine chopping and rocks smoothly against the cutting board. Fine dicing vegetables has never been so effortless."
"A great knife! Thanks for this little beauty!"
"I bought this as a birthday present for my daughter's boyfriend and he says it's awesome"
"The knife looks great and is super sharp out of the box. I’ve never been so happy to do food prep! The taller profile of the blade makes it easy to guide the knife with your knuckles."
"this knife is amazing. Cuts like butter at a beautiful price point highly recommend."
"Really enjoying this knife so far, probably even more than my 210 gyoto. It’s sharp as heck, and cuts through all my food very thin and cleanly. And it’s in a very affordable package. 10/10 recommend!"
"Love that it's stainless, so i have to worry less about it rusting. Comfortable to hold, and it suits my push cutting style that i use. I mostly cut vegetables at home, so this knife of perfect for it. It's also not super heavy. The only complaint is that the edge where the blade meets the handle could be a lot smoother. I had to sand it down with some coarse sandpaper. Other than that, perfect knife for me."
"I went into Knifewear to get my kitchen knives sharpened. Simple enough task and, while I was shopping, I got a call and they were done! Quick. Painless and such a great job. I'm so glad my kids don't live at home anymore so I can keep them nice for a while! Now. . . . I made the "mistake" of asking if they had a reasonably price Nakiri. Of course they did! (I even got to try out a couple of others that I will NEVER afford!!) In truth, I've been wanting one for many years and when I picked this one up I knew I was doomed. It fit so well in my hand, it didn't hurt a bit (unlike some chef's knives I've owned) and it was effortless to use. I don't have enough things in my house to chop! It's wonderful. . . . thank you, gentlemen!"
