Yakushi™ Damascus Nakiri Knife

The Nakiri Knife: Prepare Vegetables the Japanese Way

A Nakiri knife is a traditional Japanese blade designed for slicing, dicing, and chopping vegetables with precision. Unlike Western chef knives that use a rocking motion, the Nakiri’s straight blade enables an up-and-down cutting style, making it perfect for achieving clean, even cuts with minimal effort. No matter what vegetables you’re working with, the Nakiri knife simplifies preparation while preserving texture and flavor.

The Yakushi Damascus Nakiri Knife takes this traditional design to the next level with its 67-layer Damascus steel blade and ergonomic handle, blending timeless craftsmanship with modern performance.

What Makes the Yakushi Nakiri Knife Special?

Straight Blade for Precision Cutting

The straight edge is designed to promote an up-and-down cutting motion, making it perfect for tasks like julienning carrots or dicing onions with consistent results. Its flat blade ensures full contact with the cutting surface, significantly reducing the chances of uneven cuts.

Hand-Forged Damascus Steel

Crafted with 67 layers of premium Damascus steel, the blade is celebrated for its exceptional strength, sharpness, and intricate wavy patterns. Engineered for superior edge retention, it requires less frequent sharpening, maintaining peak performance over time.

Ergonomic Handle for Comfort

The handmade handle is carefully designed for an ambidextrous grip, accommodating both right- and left-handed users. Its ergonomic structure reduces hand fatigue, even during extended prep sessions, ensuring a comfortable and secure grip.

Versatility Beyond Vegetables

Although optimized for vegetable preparation, the wide rectangular blade excels at slicing boneless meats and fish with ease. Its sturdy design ensures it functions as a reliable all-purpose knife, capable of handling a variety of kitchen tasks.
