Suraisu Murakami // Nakiri Chef Knife // 7 inch

The Suraisu Murakami Nakiri Knife is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife designed for clean, precise cuts. Named for its purpose—'na' meaning leaf and 'kiri' meaning cut—this lightweight blade excels at slicing produce with ease. Forged from 67 layers of Damascus steel with a VG10 core, it offers exceptional sharpness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. A marble-textured artificial stone handle provides lasting durability and a comfortable, balanced grip.

Hand-sharpened using the traditional Honbazuke method, the blade features a ruthlessly sharp double-bevel edge polished to a 15° angle. Nitrogen cooling enhances hardness and flexibility, while the precisely tapered blade minimizes surface resistance for smooth, controlled motion. It’s a perfect companion for home cooks and pros alike.
