Love the knifes. They make
"Love the knifes. They make cooking easy. Best present to myself."
The 6.5” Kawashima Nakiri is your go-to vegetable whisperer. With a flat edge and squared tip inspired by traditional Japanese Nakiri knives, it’s tailor-made for clean, crisp cuts through carrots, cabbage, and every root in between. Handcrafted from ultra-premium SG2 powdered steel and hand-sharpened to an outrageously fine edge, this knife delivers effortless control and zero bruising. The handle is sculpted for all-day comfort, while the bold aesthetic turns heads on any cutting board. For plant-forward cooks and prep perfectionists, the Kawashima Nakiri is a dream come true.

Reviews
"Best knife I ever used. Wow, sums it up. And now my Sister and MIL are getting one!"
Incredible
"Best vegetable knife I’ve ever owned. That’s what I love using it for, anyway. Sharpest knife I’ve ever bought."
Outstanding
"Fantastic knife to add to my collection of this series."
Great knife!
"I wanted a set of knives for a while and after a long search I settled on those. Very happy with the purchase. The shipping experience was not the best, but once received I can honestly say the knives are esthetically and functionally very pleasing. The Nakuri is a lot lighter than expected and is great to work with. Good handle and thin/ light blade makes it very convenient for the bigger veggies / slicing jobs."

favorite knife in the kitchen
"Probably my favorite knife in the kitchen now. It feels light and balanced and the curve of the rosewood handle means there's solid control. Very pleased with this knife and will probably swear my fealty to this company when it comes to knives in the future"
