The 170 mm Nakiri is built for precision vegetable prep — fast, clean, and controlled through herbs, onions, and root vegetables. Its tall profile and flat edge make it perfect for smooth push-cuts and steady chopping, giving exceptional accuracy on the board.
Made from N690 stainless steel, it delivers impressive edge retention, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting sharpness. The Wa-style handle features rich, figured Arizona Ironwood, accented with a Buffalo Horn ferrule and Brass Spacer — a classic combination of beauty, balance, and durability.
