Conquer Your Vegetable Prep & Elevate Every Dish. Known affectionately as the "Stir-Fry King," the 7" Nakiri Vegetable Knife is the ultimate dedicated specialist for processing greens, roots, and everything in between. Evolving with our latest production run, this kitchen favorite has been upgraded from VG10 to premium Japanese AUS10 High Carbon Stainless Steel, offering even greater edge retention and durability for high-volume prep.
Unlike a traditional Western chef's knife that requires a rocking motion, the Nakiri features a completely flat cutting edge designed for clean, vertical push-cutting. This specialized geometry ensures the blade makes flush contact with the cutting board, completely eliminating annoying "accordion cuts" where vegetables remain linked by a thread. With its weight intentionally concentrated toward the front and heel of the blade, it delivers effortless downward momentum that glides through dense sweet potatoes, crisp zucchini, and delicate herbs with equal grace.
Every single blade is meticulously hand-forged using traditional San Mai construction, sandwiching our upgraded AUS10 core between protective stainless cladding. Finished with our signature rustic Kurouchi (blacksmith) finish, the blade features natural texturing that helps release food cleanly as you chop.
Key Features:
The Dedicated Vegetable Professional
From paper-thin radish slices to perfectly diced onions and julienned peppers, the Nakiri is engineered to maximize speed, accuracy, and efficiency across all plant-based prep.
The Built-In Board Scoop
The tall, broad square profile of the Nakiri provides an excellent safety shield for your knuckles against the cutting board. Once your chopping is done, the wide face of the blade acts as a perfect built-in bench scraper to cleanly scoop up massive piles of prepped veggies and slide them straight into a hot pan or wok.
Upgraded Japanese AUS10 Stainless Steel Core
Newly upgraded for our latest restock, the high-carbon Aichi AUS10 core features enhanced Vanadium and Molybdenum for superior wear resistance. This premium steel takes a terrifyingly acute edge and holds it through long prep sessions while remaining highly resistant to chipping and remarkably easy to maintain on a whetstone.
Ergonomic Octagonal 'Wa' Handle
Experience seamless balance and absolute control. The traditional octagonal Rosewood handle provides a secure, slip-resistant grip that reduces hand fatigue during intense line work. Completely ambidextrous for both left- and right-handed culinary artists.
Sustainable Artisan Accents
True to elite bladesmithing traditions, our Nakiri features a genuine Ox horn ferrule, sustainably sourced from independent local farmers near our forge. Bound with a high-strength polymer, it ensures a lifetime of handle structural integrity under demanding kitchen conditions.
The Forge To Table Advantage
Unlike mass-produced, factory-stamped commercial cutlery, every single Forge To Table blade is hand-forged in Yangjiang City by third-generation master blacksmith Alex Zheng and his team. Combining industrial design precision with 5 years of elite traditional apprenticeship in Seki, Japan, we deliver the unmatched performance of artisan blades at an approachable price point—bringing genuine culinary heritage straight to your prep station.
