6.8" Nakiri Knife - Master Series (B30)
Reach for this when the cutting board is covered in vegetables. Slicing cabbage into thin ribbons for slaw, dicing a pile of capsicum for mirepoix, julienning carrots, coining zucchini for a gratin: these are exactly the jobs the nakiri was designed for. The flat profile lets you push straight through without the heel lifting, which means every slice lands clean without rocking the blade.
Flat Profile, Knuckle Clearance
The tall rectangular blade face does two things well. It keeps your knuckles off the board even when you're working fast, so you can use a full-height grip without pulling your fingers back. And the wide flat keeps full contact with the cutting surface through the stroke, which is how you get consistent ribbons of cabbage instead of jagged uneven ones. The blade runs to 60-62 HRC on a 10Cr15CoMoV core wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus, so the push-cut edge holds through a long session of repetitive vegetable work.
Figured Sycamore, Full-Tang Build
The figured sycamore handle has a rippled grain that reads differently on every piece. It's dense enough to stay dry and comfortable through extended prep, and the full-tang build puts the balance point right at your pinch grip. No front-heavy tip pull that wears on your wrist when you're halfway through a mountain of capsicum.
