"High-performance" meets "Price-performance".
No vegetable stands a chance against the super sharp and hard (64 HRC!) Tsunehisa SRS13 Nakiri Oak 165mm (6.5”). The wide profile and thin concave grind of this easy-to-maintain nakiri make vegetable prep a snap. Perfect for summer salads! 🥗
Sporting a clean Japanese design, this incredibly light knife will never go out of style.
Tsunehisa SRS13 Nakiri Oak 165mm (6.5”). A new classic.
The Nakiri blade shape is a traditional Japanese knife shape, designed for the task of cutting vegetables. A knife that will be appreciated in the hands of a prep cook with mountains of veggies to prepare every day. Recently, many nakiris find their way into home kitchens - it's a perfect knife for vegetarians and veggie lovers. Chop away!
SRS13 is a high-tech powder steel developed by Nachi-Fujikoshi, one of the most advanced steel producers in Japan. The steel is heat treated to approx. 64 HRC. It's also less likely to chip than some other powder steels and it's also completely stainless (no patina!).
The blade is minimalistically polished in a Japanese »hair–line« design, attached to a simple yet resilient traditional Japanese Wa oak handle. A very thin blade followed by an even thinner concave grind will push this one in a lightweight mid-size Japanese multi-purpose category.
Extreme sharpness will make this one a true kitchen slayer where no veggies will stand a chance. High performance steel, clean Japanese design, low maintenance and a price you don't have to break the bank to buy one makes this nakiri a real bargain.

☝️ Japanese kitchen knives in our store are handmade from natural materials. Slight variations in color, texture, weight and other dimensions are possible. We try to give a good photographic representation of our products, however computer screen resolution and colors do vary, so products might not look exactly as they are seen on screen.
Blade wear depends on the quality of steel, usage and maintenance of the blade. Japanese knives are made of high-quality steels. Follow these tips to keep your Japanese knife in top-notch shape:
✔ Use a wooden, plastic or rubber cutting board.
✔ After use, wash the knives and wipe them dry.
✔ For storage, use a knife holder or a protective knife sheath (saya).
✔ A good cutting technique is your best bet to prolong sharpness.
✔ Use sharpening stones to sharpen the knife.
❗️Don’t leave the knife in the sink. Wash it by hand.
❗️Don’t wash the knife in the dishwasher.
❗️Don’t use the knife on glass, ceramics, marble or steel surfaces.
❗️Don’t scrape the food off the cutting board with the edge of the blade. Use the spine of the knife instead.
❗️Knife is a tool intended for specific use - cutting food. It is not a can opener, screwdriver, trowel, wire cutter, hammer etc.
