7 Inch Nakiri Knife | Damascus Japanese Vegetable Knife

The 7 inch Nakiri knife is made for cooks who want clean, controlled vegetable prep without crushing, tearing, or uneven cuts. With its flat blade profile, squared-off tip, and straight cutting edge, a Nakiri knife is designed to make full contact with the cutting board, helping you slice through vegetables with smooth up-and-down cuts.

Unlike a Western chef knife, which often uses a rocking motion, a Japanese Nakiri knife is especially effective for push cutting, tap chopping, and straight chopping. This makes it ideal for preparing onions, cabbage, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, herbs, leafy greens, fruits, and stir-fry ingredients. The blade shape helps create even slices and clean cuts, especially when presentation matters.

This 7-inch Nakiri knife features a 73-layer Damascus steel blade with a high-performance 9Cr18MoV steel core for dependable sharpness, edge retention, and everyday reliability. The layered Damascus pattern gives the blade a premium look, while the steel core helps deliver smooth, controlled cutting through daily ingredients.

The 7 inch blade length gives you a strong balance between reach and control. It is long enough for larger vegetables like cabbage, squash, lettuce, and eggplant, while still feeling comfortable for detailed prep work such as mincing herbs, slicing tomatoes, and dicing onions.

Finished with a blue Pakkawood handle, this Damascus Nakiri knife offers a secure, comfortable grip and a bold visual style. Whether you are a home cook, meal prepper, vegetarian, vegan cook, culinary student, or kitchen enthusiast, this knife is designed to make vegetable prep faster, cleaner, and more enjoyable.

It is also gift-ready. With custom engraving available, this 7 in Nakiri knife can be personalized with a name, initials, date, or short message, making it a thoughtful gift for home cooks, chefs, newlyweds, BBQ lovers, housewarmings, birthdays, holidays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and special occasions.

This knife is not designed for cutting bones, frozen food, hard shells, or heavy cleaver-style chopping.

To keep your 7 inch Nakiri knife sharp and reliable, hand wash it after each use with mild soap and warm water. Dry the blade immediately with a soft towel before storing it.

Do not place the knife in the dishwasher. Heat, moisture, and harsh detergents can damage the cutting edge, handle, and finish over time.

Use the knife on wood, bamboo, or quality plastic cutting boards. Avoid glass, stone, ceramic, or metal cutting surfaces because they can dull or damage the edge.

Store the knife in a sheath, knife block, magnetic strip, or blade guard to protect the blade between uses. For best long-term sharpness, hone lightly when needed and sharpen with a whetstone or professional sharpening service.
