Its design combines the utilitarianism of German blades with the precision of Japanese knives. Instead of being cheaply welded together, all of our Knives are full tang and fully forged, meaning they are crafted from a single rod of stainless steel that extends from tip to handle—resulting in sharper, perfectly balanced blades. A staple of Japanese cuisine, the straight, blunt edges of the Nakiri are perfect for slicing, dicing, and chopping vegetables as it cuts straight down without rocking like rounded blades. Discover the difference having a dedicated chopping knife will make in your prep. ## Options - Truffle Black · $79.99 USD (compare at $119.00) · Out of stock: https://madeincookware.com/products/nakiri-knife/truffle-black - Olive Wood · $99.00 USD (compare at $169.00) · Out of stock: https://madeincookware.com/products/nakiri-knife/olive-wood - Pomme Red · $60.00 USD (compare at $119.00) · Out of stock: https://madeincookware.com/products/nakiri-knife/pomme-red - Harbour Blue · $60.00 USD (compare at $119.00) · Out of stock: https://madeincookware.com/products/nakiri-knife/harbour-blue ## Features - Made in France - X50CrMoV15 NITRO+ metal - Rockwell Hardness 58+ - Full Tang and Fully Forged - Lifetime Warranty ## Dimensions - Blade Material: X50CrMoV15 Stainless Steel - Blade Angle: 12.5-Degrees (Either Side) - Blade Type: Double Bevel - Blade Length: 6.38” - Blade Height: 1.83" - Blade Thickness: 2.5 mm - Total Length: 11.5” - Weight: 7 oz - Rockwell Scale: 58+ HRC ## Care - Only Use on a Plastic or Wood Cutting Board - Hand Wash Only, Dry Immediately - Sharpen at a 12.5-Degree Angle ## Shipping, Warranty, and Returns - Shipping: free US shipping on orders over $99.

Like all Made In knives, this high quality knife blade should be regularly honed and occasionally sharpened to ensure it stays razor sharp. ### What Can I Use the Nakiri Knife For? In Japan, the Nakiri is used as a vegetable knife. Its blade length makes it ideal for cutting a variety of veggies. ### What Makes the Nakiri Knife Unique? Like the Santoku Knife, another staple in Japanese knife sets, the 6-inch Nakiri Knife has an rectangular blade. Unlike Chef Knife or Paring Knife, it resembles a mini cleaver. ## Customer Reviews ### ★★★★★ Good larger knife Well balanced and good feel. Handle looks great as well. — C Cole ### ★☆☆☆☆ Very uncomfortable knife! I have bought many Made In products. Sadly this is the first one I have been disappointed with. This is the most uncomfortable knife I have ever used. The spine of the knife has sharp edges that dig in and will eventually cause a blister. Sorry Made In, but you missed the mark on this one. — Chris ### ★★★★★ Quality hybrid knife (east/west) This knife was a gift years ago and I bring it to my part time kitchen job. Chopped probably hundreds of pounds of basil and bell peppers and onions with this thing. The logo is warn out by now. I've dropped it a few times and never broke on me. The extra hardness makes these knives brittle but very sharp and powerful. — Clark ### ★★★★★ Beautiful knife Well made! Wonderful knife, this one is a gift for a friend, she will be thrilled when it arrives. One of my all time favs cuts like a champ! — Deb F. ### ★★★★★ Made In Nakiri This knife is sharp, well balanced and doesn’t feel like fake. The handle is comfortable and blade is made to last. My only regret is I didn’t know about this brand sooner and wasted money on others that promise the sky , but deliver mud. Trust me. Just try one item, you’ll return to replace not only your knives, but all kitchenware available here. I already own more than 10 knives , pans and a griddle set. If you’re not a chef, it will make you feel like one. Quality is top notch and no compromise on comfort. Enjoy the art of cooking again!!. — Hetnoc A ### ★☆☆☆☆ The knife is great and feels great to use. However, their customer service is horrible. They charged me shipping even though the purchase was above their free shipping limit. I was informed after the purchase ir was because they had increased their limit for free shipping ONLY for on sale items. Never purchasing from them again. — Jordan ### ★★★★★ Loving this knife. I can use it almost like a clever. Like being able to use it to pick up what I just cut — Anonymous ### ★★★★★ If I say anything too nice, the other knives will know it’s true, what they all feared, but I have a new favorite knife prepping in the kitchen. The knife is beautifully weighted and wicked sharp upon arrival I love it for chopping vegetables, for slicing boneless cooked meats, and for most tasks either a santoku or chef’s knife would tackle I got the red handle. It is awesome amongst the plain black handles — RICHARD ### ★★★★★ Amazing knife! Sharp and precise and a welcome addition to my knife arsenal. — shnaylo ### ★★★★★ I don’t always buy my Japanese style nakiri knives from a french maker, but I have no regrets The beautiful craftsmanship is the first thing out of the box I noticed . The blade is an absolute pleasure to slice with. This is one of the best knives I’ve ever boughtdue to the steel. — RICHARD ### ★★★★★ Another great product. Nice surprise it came with a sleeve. — Neil H. ### ★★★★★ Great versatile knife. We like the feel and balance. My son who likes to cook was happy to see it arrive. We quickly put it to use. — Carla S. ### ★★★★★ My new Fav: Love it more than Chef’s knife I have to say this has become my fav knife after receiving it. I love it more than I liked the chef knife because of the angle, the weight, and the grip (my old chef knife’s grip is not comfy at all). Also because I cut a lot of veggies and I am an Asian who is used to having square knives. Absolutely loving it. — Jundai Shen ### ★☆☆☆☆ Don't buy these knives Terrible quality steel. I dropped the knife from waist height onto a towel on a linoleum floor. The knife broke in half through the blade. Their "lifetime warranty" won't cover it. The knife if less than a year old. Don't buy this terrible product from a company that doesn't honor their warranty. — Slohoffman ### ★☆☆☆☆ Don't buy these knives Terrible quality steel.

Don't buy this terrible product from a company that doesn't honor their warranty. — Slohoffman ### ★☆☆☆☆ I did receive the knife I ordered, the second attempt. The first knife ordered came unsharpened. Customer service is lackluster. Will stick with Shun knives. — Anonymous ### ★☆☆☆☆ Too heavy, does not arrive sharp I was disappointed by the weight of this knife and it did not arrive sharp enough to slice vegetables. I was denied the opportunity to return it. I bought it for the Olive wood handle. — Scott F. ### ★★★★★ Arrived Dull but customer support came through I'd rate the knife maybe 4 stars but the customer support brings it to 5. Had the knife gifted to me but it came dull (appears to have been sharpened on one side only). After some back and forth with support, I ended up getting a replacement blade. Overall, I was expecting it to replace my current knife as my daily driver, and it can, you just have to make a few concessions. Mainly the thickness of the knife as a whole, it's a thicc boy, so any slicing and dicing you may do might require a little extra force (even with a sharp blade). This is most noticeable on onion chopping. I've also had to sharpen it a few times myself to get the edge nice and sharp. Unsure if the metal they use just dulls quickly or if my onions are just laden with heavy metals. — Kyle R. ### ★★★★★ great work knife in love! was surprised at the quality, it is my veggie knife at work! my coworkers thought it was nice looking and great weight. get it professionally sharpened as it does not come pre sharpened. — Nicole N. ### ★☆☆☆☆ Wrong item sent! I never received the Nakin knife. Instead. I was shipped a Stainless Steel pan. This was a gift for my son for Christmas and was shipped out of state to his home. I did not know it was the wrong item until after Christmas! Now I have to deal with the return. Not happy! — Katherine M. ### ★☆☆☆☆ Too heavy! I did not like the weight on this item. I found it to be much too heavy — Allen L. ### ★☆☆☆☆ never got my order I never received my order — cindy m. ### ★☆☆☆☆ Knife was dull upon receipt. Knife was dull upon receipt. — Wilbert G ### ★☆☆☆☆ Its an overpriced piece of Its an overpriced piece of junk, a 20 knife being sold for 5 times that, don't waste your money — Debra B. ### ★☆☆☆☆ Poor quality control Knife arrived with a large scratch on the bolster and the handle was marred. The packaging was in perfect condition, so that means somebody packed a damaged knife! The damage was facing up, and was obvious as soon as I opened the box. Very disappointing, and to make matters worse, there wasn't a replacement in stock. I ended up buying another brand of nakiri, which isn't great, but at least it wasn't damaged..... — Lynn S. ### ★☆☆☆☆ Super pretty knife & fits nicely in my hand. Great for chopping veggies however the blade lost its edge way too fast. I wouldn’t spend the money on it again. If made-in has a return policy, I’m going to return it. — Lynn W. ### ★☆☆☆☆ Nice knife…. Weight is not Nice knife…. Weight is not what I’m use to but I’m working with it ,,, I’m not happy with the sharpness of the blade . I was going to return it but I’m going to get the blade sharpened and see if that helps . — Charlene N. ### ★☆☆☆☆ Do not bother buying this knife. It performs as well as other knives at half the price point but it not very durable. The knife slipped out of my husbands hand and fell to the ground and snapped in half. I have never seen any knife fail so spectacularly. Made In refused to honor their "Lifetime Warranty". It appears the warranty is nothing more than a marketing tool. Pass on Made In. You can do better — Susan O ### ★★★★★ Amazing quality and styling! Easily my favorite knife. — S. C. ### ★☆☆☆☆ I ordered the nikiri (which was in stock at the time of ordering) as a Christmas gift for my wife. The best estimate now says it will arrive on the evening of December 24. — MM --- URL: https://madeincookware.com/products/nakiri-knife/truffle-black
