Japanese Black Nakiri Knife

A Nakiri meaning "leaf cutter" is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife.

Built strictly for precise, vertical push-cutting and chopping rather than rocking, making it ideal for clean, efficient vegetable prep.

This knife is made by Hirotaka Muneishi, who was born to a blacksmith’s family and is certified by the Japanese government as a national traditional craftsman.

This knife was built with traditional methods that have been used since the samurai era.

The handle is made of octagonal magnolia wood with a buffalo horn collar ring. It is carefully finished and has a smooth grip.

Aogami steel is not stainless and rusts easily. Please wash and dry after use to avoid oxidation.
