What if we told you there is a Japanese knife specifically designed for vegetable prep that will make your cooking safer, easier and faster? It is vastly better than the all-purpose European chef’s knife, which is clunky, heavy and too thick to precisely slice and dice onions, cut carrots into perfect coins or reduce chard into feathery ribbons.

The solution is the Milk Street Nakiri. It’s light, thin and sharp, with a design that resembles a mini cleaver—2 inches deep with a squared-off tip. The very thin blade, just 1.5 millimeters at the top, tapers down even thinner toward the end so it slices through even tough ingredients effortlessly without sticking. The broad blade shields your fingers when you chop and works as a bench scraper to transfer chopped veggies to the simmering pot. The blade’s heel gently curves to accommodate your fingers when choking up tight for control.

This is a limited edition, premium run of our tried-and-true Milk Street Nakiri knife. It features a high-end Japanese AUS8 steel blade specially treated with a nonstick “Tsuchime” hammered surface—foods slide right off—and a gorgeously grained cocobolo wood handle. And it comes with a custom saya, or knife guard, to keep your blade keen and protect it in storage. Consider it an heirloom-quality tool to pass on to the next generation.

Net Weight: 6 ounces
Dimensions: Blade Length: 6.75 Inches

Hand-wash only and dry thoroughly after washing. Do not put in dishwasher.
To maintain the blade's edge, sharpen the Premium Nakiri at a 17 degree angle.

So Sharp and Lightweight It’ll Make Cooking Fun Again

  1. Premium Japanese AUS8 Blade Steel

    AUS8 is a stainless steel with an ultra-high carbon content, which means means it holds an edge well, yet is easy to sharpen when the time (eventually) comes.
  2. Durable Cocobolo Wood

    Cocobolo is an exceptionally dense, durable and lustrous wood traditionally used for high-end knife handles and gunstocks.
  3. Big Lock-In Handle

    Milk Street’s exclusive lock-in handle fills the hand for a secure, confident grip.
  4. Constant-Height Blade Design

    A nakiri’s rectangular shape looks simple, but its finely tuned for precise veg prep.
  5. Engineered Blade Edge

    The subtly curved blade edge rock chops as well as it slices.
