Forged for Precision, Inspired by Tradition

The 7-inch Nakiri Knife is crafted from premium stainless steel, reaching a hardness of 58±2 HRC. Designed for the delicate art of Japanese vegetable cutting, it combines edge retention, rust resistance, and balance to deliver professional performance and lasting durability.

Hammered by Hand, Honed by Masters

Each blade is hand-forged and mirror-polished, featuring a traditional hammered finish that prevents food from sticking during slicing. Ground by hand at a 15° V-edge on each side, it glides cleanly through vegetables and fruits, transforming daily prep into a moment of focus and precision.

Elegance in Every Grip

The octagonal olivewood handle, carefully shaped for comfort and control, offers a natural warmth and exceptional balance. Resistant to deformation and moisture, it provides a secure hold for both short tasks and long sessions in the kitchen. Its widened shoulder supports accurate fingertip guidance, a hallmark of Japanese design.

A Knife with Soul

Handcrafted by expert artisans blending modern precision and ancestral Japanese forging techniques, the Akari Nakiri embodies craftsmanship at its purest. Presented in an elegant gift box with protective sheath, it’s both a daily tool and a meaningful gift for those who love the art of cooking.

Care Instructions

Hand-wash only. Avoid dishwashers, bones, or frozen foods. Dry completely after use, and store in its sheath or on a magnetic rack. A light coat of food-grade mineral oil will preserve its luster and edge for years to come.
