Built in Sakai, Japan, the Touroku Sakai Blue Super Stainless Clad Series reflects generations of Japanese knife-making tradition paired with practical, performance-focused design.

The Nakiri is a dedicated vegetable knife designed around clean, efficient prep work. Its flatter blade profile maintains full contact with the cutting board, making it exceptionally well suited for push cutting, chopping, and repetitive vegetable prep without relying on rocking motions.

At the core of the blade is Blue Super carbon steel, widely respected for its ability to take an extremely refined edge while delivering excellent edge retention and long-term cutting performance. Stainless steel cladding wraps the core steel using a traditional Sanmai construction, helping reduce maintenance while still preserving the responsive feel and cutting characteristics that carbon steel enthusiasts appreciate.

The blade geometry feels thin and highly efficient through dense vegetables while maintaining enough structure and stability for confident board work. Whether processing herbs, onions, cabbage, root vegetables, or larger prep volumes, the Nakiri moves cleanly and consistently through product with very little resistance.

The octagonal mono oak handle is treated with a traditional Yakiurushi (flame burnish) creating a lightweight and balanced feel while creating a beautiful contrasting light and dark tone.

For cooks who spend significant time working with vegetables, this Nakiri delivers excellent cutting performance, edge retention, and everyday usability in a highly approachable package.

Note: This Knife has an exposed core of Blue Super carbon steel, which is not stainless. Please follow care instructions for Carbon Steel here.
