KYOKU Samurai Series - Nakiri Japanese Vegetable Knife 7

The Kyoku brand has been inspired by the honor and integrity of the Japanese master bladesmiths who applied their skills to cutlery with unprecedented innovation after the decline of the samurai in 1868. Kyoku's mission is to make high-end Japanese cutlery affordable for professional chefs and home cooks worldwide, driven by a passion for culinary creativity.

The Kyoku Nakiri vegetable knives, with their thin and wide blades, produce very fine and even cuts. These Japanese-style knives combine the features of a chef's knife with the versatility of a vegetable cleaver, characterized by their flat profiles and squared-off tips, making them ideal for push cutting and chopping but less suitable for rock cutting.

Kyoku's knives undergo the traditional 3-step Honbazuke cryogenic treatment to achieve incredible hardness while retaining flexibility and corrosion resistance. Following traditional sword-making practices, Kyoku creates wonderfully practical knives with unique, stunning, and functional textures.

Designed for a lifetime of use, Kyoku knives are ideal for both professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts. The ruthlessly sharp edge is handcrafted by seasoned artisans to a mirror polish, ensuring incredible hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. The dense Pakkawood handles provide an ergonomic grip and a long-lasting service life, with an elegant mosaic pin to reveal the knives' luxurious identity.

The full-tang construction, where the blade's metal extends through the handle, allows Kyoku knives to withstand punishing daily use without sacrificing their first-rate handling and performance.

The Kyoku Samurai Series includes a 7-inch Nakiri vegetable knife, a 7-inch vegetable cleaver, an 8-inch chef's knife, a 10.5-inch sushi/sashimi knife, and a set of 5-inch non-serrated steak knives. All Kyoku knives come with a lifetime warranty and a commitment to customer satisfaction.
