PRODUCT DETAILS

Nakiri Knife 16.5 cm – Taishi by Yaxell

Do you want to bring culinary masterpieces to the table? Then you need the right tools. Start with the Nakiri knife from Yaxell’s Taishi series — just holding it makes you feel like a professional, ready to explore new horizons in your kitchen.

This striking 16.5 cm vegetable knife features a 3-layer VG10 stainless steel blade, renowned for its superior sharpness, hardness, and resistance to corrosion. At its core lies VG10 super steel, sandwiched between layers of high-quality stainless steel for added stability, longevity, and balance. Forged using traditional Japanese techniques, it delivers top-tier slicing performance every time.

The black pakkawood handle, made from beech and reinforced for durability, offers an ergonomic grip for comfort during long prep sessions. Stainless steel bolster and butt caps ensure perfect weight distribution and balance, essential for smooth, fatigue-free use in both professional and home kitchens.

A distinct Katana-style wave line runs along the blade, giving each Taishi knife its unique character and elegant visual signature.

The Nakiri knife, often called the “vegetable knife” in Japanese cuisine, is engineered for clean, straight cuts. Its rectangular, flat-edged blade ensures full contact with the cutting board, making it perfect for chopping, mincing, and slicing vegetables with absolute precision and efficiency. A must-have for any chef who values speed and control in plant-based prep work.

Craftsmanship:

Every Yaxell knife is hand-forged in Seki, Japan, the birthplace of Japanese blade-making with over 700 years of tradition. The blade undergoes a meticulous multi-step heat treatment process — fired at extreme temperatures, ice-hardened, and then reheated — to achieve a long-lasting, corrosion-resistant edge of exceptional quality.

THE COLLECTION

Taishi by Yaxell

The Yaxell Taishi collection features 3-layer steel blades with a VG10 "super stainless steel" cutting core enveloped by high-quality stainless steel on both sides for stability and longevity. The Katana sword wave line is clearly observed on the blade, which offers an extremely sharp cutting edge and long-lasting performance. All Yaxell knives undergo a heating process in a high-temperature kiln, followed by ice-hardening and tempering, which creates a corrosion-resistant blade with longer edge retention. The collection is equipped with black beech pakka wood handles, while the bolster and the end cap are crafted from high-quality stainless steel to ensure balance and stability during use.
