6.5 Inch Nakiri Knife
Flat Blade. Clean Cuts. Serious Sharpness.
Inspired by traditional Japanese knife designs and shaped like a compact Asian cleaver, this 6.5" nakiri knife is built for precision vegetable prep at its finest. With a straight-edge profile and ultra-sharp blade, it glides cleanly through carrots, onions, herbs, and greens—no rocking, no tearing, just smooth, effortless chopping.
This is the sharpest knife in our lineup—handle with care. Honed to a scalpel-like edge, it delivers exceptional control for paper-thin cuts, fine dicing, and delicate prep work. The flat blade shape makes it ideal for push cuts and fast chopping, while the tall profile provides generous knuckle clearance and easy ingredient transfer.
Crafted from our CryoForge high-carbon German stainless steel, this knife blends lasting sharpness with excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. Its balanced, ergonomic handle feels secure and comfortable—even during extended prep sessions.
Whether you're a home cook seeking Japanese-style precision or a professional looking for a reliable high-performance vegetable knife, this premium Nakiri knife earns its place in your daily rotation.
