Description
xThe SYOKAMI 7.2-inch Nakiri is a Japanese-inspired vegetable knife built for clean, fatigue-free chopping and versatile kitchen prep.
Designed specifically for vegetable work, this Nakiri pairs a broad, straight blade with a slightly rounded tip and balanced full-tang construction. It favors repetitive chopping and precise push-cuts while remaining light enough for long prep sessions. The ergonomic handle with a raised finger guard and textured spine gives added control, and the FSC-certified wood handle plus triple-rivet styling make it attractive on a gift list.
How does this Nakiri make everyday vegetable prep faster?
The straight edge keeps consistent contact with the board so you can chop through roots and firm vegetables in a single motion, reducing additional sawing. Its broad profile also helps you scoop and transfer chopped food from board to pan.

How sharp and durable is the blade, and how should I maintain it?

Maintain performance with regular honing and occasional whetstone sharpening; hand wash and dry promptly to preserve the finish and handle.
