Shun Premier 5.5″ Nakiri Knife

Effortless Vegetable Mastery. Japanese Precision. 🔪

Designed for precision and performance, the Shun Premier 5.5″ Nakiri Knife is the ultimate tool for chopping, slicing, and dicing fresh produce. 🍅🥕 Meaning “vegetable knife” in Japanese, the Nakiri features a straight blade, spine, and edge—perfect for clean up-and-down cuts rather than rocking motions.

Ideal for salads, stir-fries, and meal prep, this vegetable knife combines the efficiency of a cleaver with the finesse of Japanese craftsmanship. Its razor-sharp 16° double-bevel edge ✂️ glides effortlessly through dense vegetables like sweet potatoes and crisp peppers, while the hand-hammered tsuchime finish 🔨 reduces drag and prevents food from sticking.

Crafted from VG-MAX high-carbon stainless steel ⚙️, the blade offers exceptional hardness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The ergonomic walnut PakkaWood® handle 🌲 is water-resistant, comfortable, and beautifully balanced—providing a secure grip for fast, fatigue-free prep.

Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan, this Nakiri embodies centuries of Japanese blade-making tradition and modern innovation.
