New, Improved Nakiri Vegetable Knife

$79.95

The Milk Street Nakiri will ship by JANUARY 8, 2024

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. A very thin blade, just 1.6 millimeters at the top, tapers down even thinner toward the end so it slices through even tough ingredients effortlessly without bending. The broad blade shields your fingers when you chop and works as a bench scraper to transfer chopped veggies to the simmering pot. With the help of veteran industrial designer David Lewin, we added a few special touches. The blade is embossed with a nonstick file pattern that replicates the kourochi (blacksmith) or tshuchime (pear skin) finish to traditional nakiris, so sliced ingredients fall right off. A gentle curve accommodates fingers when choking up tight for control, and the handle has been designed to provide a nonslip grip.

Milk Street Nakiri

So Sharp and Lightweight It’ll Make Cooking Fun Again

Stays Sharp

German 1.4116 steel is an industry standard for sharpness, edge retention, durability and stainless properties.

Perfect Length

The 6¾-inch blade allows for better control—short enough for detail work and long enough for clean slicing.

Razor Thin

The 1.6 millimeter spine is even thinner than our first nakiri design—but no less sturdy—for cleaner, easier knifework.

Safer Blade Design

At 2 inches tall, the broad blade shields your fingers when you chop.

Nonstick Slicing

The blade is embossed with a file pattern that replicates the textured finish of traditional Japanese knives.

Lock-In Handle

Milk Street’s signature ergonomic polymer handle is designed to feel comfortable and secure regardless of hand size.

Featherlight

At just under 6 ounces, it’s almost half the weight of the average chef’s knife, making prep a pleasure, not a chore.

The Perfect Vegetable Knife

It’s light, thin and sharp, with a design that resembles a mini cleaver.

Makes Vegetable Prep Easier Every Time

The ultra-thin blade slides through even the toughest vegetables like squash or carrots without cracking them.

Blade and Bench Scraper All in One

Scrape up chopped foods on the wide blade to add to your bowl or skillet.

Curved Blade Butt Good for Precision Work

The curve in butt of the blade leaves room for fingers when choking up on the grip for precision work.

We Added a Slight Curve for More Familiar Chopping

Traditionally, nakiri blades are perfectly flat to make full contact with the board, but ours includes a slight curve toward the tip for easy rock chopping.

Squared-Off Tip is Safer Than a Chef’s Knife

The pointy tip of a chef’s knife is more of a hazard than anything, but our squared tip adds an element of safety.

Lock-In Handle Design is Comfortable for All Sizes of Hands

All Milk Street knives have handles that are thicker on top than at the bottom, which provides a “lock-in” grip.
