About This

• FOR PRECISION VEGETABLE PREP — STRAIGHT-DOWN CHOPPING, NOT ROCKING: The nakiri is Japan's dedicated vegetable knife — a flat cleaver-style edge that cuts cleanly through cabbage, cucumber, onion, radish, and zucchini in a single straight-down motion. No rock, no rollover, no missed cell walls on the onion.
• FOR ASIAN COOKING, STIR-FRY PREP, AND DEDICATED VEGETABLE WORK: The 7" blade processes a stir-fry mise en place in minutes — matchstick carrots, chiffonade bok choy, paper-thin ginger, uniform cucumber rounds for pickling. The flat tip and ryōba ba cutting edge handle meat, fish, and proteins when needed, too.
• FOR PRECISION THAT HOLDS ACROSS A FULL PREP SESSION: Forged from single-piece high-carbon 9CR18MOV stainless at 60+ HRC, hand-sharpened to a scalpel-fine 8–12° edge per side. Razor-sharp out of the box; holds its edge through bulk vegetable prep without touching a steel.
• FOR A HANDLE THAT SIGNALS THE VALHALLA LINEUP: Celestial resin reinforced with stabilized wood and a stainless steel bolster — individually cast, no two alike. Balanced for the straight-down nakiri chopping motion; impact, heat, and moisture resistant.
• GIFT-READY PACKAGING, DEDICATED SUPPORT: Every Dalstrong knife is backed by a dedicated US-based customer support and handcrafted packaging. Questions about knife care, sharpening, or technique? Our team answers real people, not bots. 3,200+ verified reviews say it all.
