Western-style handle 7" Nakiri
This 7″ Nakiri blends the speed of a traditional vegetable knife with the authority of a small cleaver. Short, tall, and exceptionally agile, it’s a true cross between a Nakiri and a Chinese cleaver, delivering outstanding control and knuckle clearance in a compact, confidence-inspiring package. Forged from fine-grained AEB-L stainless steel and ground to a refined geometry, it glides through vegetables, herbs, and proteins with ease—making it a medium-duty, all-round workhorse for everyday cooking.
Finished with a sculpted Western-style handle (in either the 'Prestige' or 'Velin' design), this knife is built for comfort and long sessions at the board. Choose from premium hardwoods, stabilized burl woods, or durable micarta, each fitted for balance and longevity. Tough, versatile, and built to last a lifetime, this Nakiri is made for cooks who want one knife that can do it all.
