Description
xMeet the KYOKU Samurai Nakiri 7" knife — a purpose-built vegetable knife designed to balance precision, comfort, and durability in a busy kitchen. The blade’s backbone is a cryogenically treated high-carbon steel cutting core, hardened to 56–58 HRC, delivering a sharp edge with impressive staying power through extended prep sessions.
The knife’s design blends form and function. The narrow, slightly curved blade centers control and reduces fatigue during long sessions, while a full tang ensures dependable balance from tip to handle. The Pakkawood handle, triple-riveted and reinforced with a mosaic pin, is engineered to resist heat, cold, and moisture, giving a confident, slip-resistant grip even when the kitchen heats up.
