KYOKU Samurai Series - Nakiri 7 Japanese Vegetable Knife

Kyoku was inspired by the honor and integrity of Japanese master bladesmiths, whose skills were applied to unprecedented innovation in cutlery after the decline of the samurai in 1868. Our mission is to make high-end Japanese cutlery affordable for professional chefs and home cooks worldwide, driven by our passion for culinary creativity.

The Kyoku Nakiri vegetable knife features a Japanese-style design, combining the attributes of a chef's knife with the versatility of a vegetable cleaver. Characterized by a flat profile and squared-off tip, this knife is ideal for push cutting and chopping, though less suitable for rock cutting.

Kyoku's Nakiri knives boast a thin, wide blade that produces fine and even cuts, complemented by a hollow edge design that reduces drag during use. Cryogenically treated using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method, the blade achieves incredible hardness while retaining flexibility and corrosion resistance.

Following traditional sword-making practices, Kyoku creates wonderfully practical knives with unique, stunning, and functional textures. Designed for a lifetime of service, these knives are suitable for professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts alike, featuring a ruthlessly sharp edge handcrafted to a mirror polish.

The dense Pakkawood handle provides an ergonomic grip and long-lasting durability, adorned with an elegant mosaic pin to reveal the knife's luxurious identity. With full-tang construction, the blade's metal extends through the handle to withstand punishing daily use without sacrificing its first-rate handling and performance.

The Kyoku Samurai Series includes a 7-inch Nakiri vegetable knife, a 7-inch vegetable cleaver, an 8-inch chef's knife, a 10.5-inch sushi/sashimi knife, and a 5-inch non-serrated steak knife set. All knives are made with superior Japanese steel, boast a Rockwell hardness of 56-58, and come with a lifetime warranty.

Customers have overwhelmingly praised the Kyoku Samurai Series, with the Nakiri vegetable knife, chef's knife, and sushi/sashimi knife each earning 4.5 or 4.6 out of 5 stars from over 900 reviews. With their unparalleled performance, ergonomic design, and durable construction, Kyoku knives are the perfect choice for discerning chefs and home cooks alike.
