This finely crafted nakiri knife mimics a Japanese cleaver shape and features a wide, ultra-sharp blade that’s ideal for prepping everything from veggies to meat to fish. It’s a sturdy knife created for just about everything in the kitchen, but most especially for chopping, slicing, and dicing vegetables.

Love at first chop!
Nakiri knives are one of my favorite shapes. It is a traditional knife in Japanese cooking; there isn't much that can't be done with this knife. This Miyabi Koh nakiri is one of the most beautiful and well suited for its tasks. Asian cooking involves a fair amount of prepping - pre-cutting of vegetables and proteins. This knife is a workhorse. Chopped soft vegs or hard, thinly sliced meat or chicken or cubes, this knife's sharpness is hat makes it so useful. It's edge was designed to hold. The proprietary steel that the blade is made from, the way it is made and all the hand work used to finish, sharpen and polish it ensures that this knife will be a joy to use for a life time.

Great choice without a doubt!
I ended up buying the Miyabi KOH 6.5” Nakiri knife over other selections. Went to Sur La Table in San Diego & they showed me a few knives to choose from. I really liked the craftsmanship on the blade and how well it felt in my hands. Its light, not too heavy, beautiful without a doubt as well as, sharp… very, sharp. Got home and instantly fell in love. Chopped & sliced through everything like butter. Highly recommend this knife to anyone looking to purchase it. Great option.

Another great Asian knife.
This MIyabi Koh Nakiri is handcrafted in Japan, fabricated from revolutionary FC61 fine carbide steel, Ice-hardened FRIODURx2 blade offers exceptional durability, cutting edge retention, and corrosion resistance.
About 2 years ago, I received a prep knife and it is scalpel-like sharpness and comfortably in the hand. I liked this nakiri, it is a small or half version of a Asian vegetable knife. It can be used to scoop out food transferring from the cutting board after cutting and slicing to a dish. This is a time-tested German engineering meets Japanese craftsmanship.

The Miyabi Koh Nakari knife has everything I was looking for in a kitchen knife. Made in Seki Japan, the pakkawood handle feels great and is extremely comfortable. The FC61 steel exceeds all expectations. Easy to sharpen and holds an edge much longer than some of my other knives.
The Nakari style knife has a nice wide blade, which is great for scooping up chopped vegetables. Very versatile can chop, slice, mince and dice effortlessly. I've almost completely eliminated using my chef's knife since I purchased this knife. Once you use it, there's no going back!

great comfortable knife
I love everything about this knife. The handle has such a unique look accented with a nice mosaic pin. It is very comfortable to hold. The Japanese blade has a very thin profile giving accurate thin cuts and slices. The steel goes through a double hardening process ensuring a durable chip resistant thin cutting edge. It is very easy to maintain the sharpness as well. The blade goes through the traditional Honbazuke sharpening process and features the traditional Katana style watermarking just above the cutting edge. A great example of Japanese craftsmanship.

so cool to use!
I had never heard of, let alone used a Nakiri, but when I saw it I was intrigued. I use it much like I use my santoku but it's so much more fun and and the motion to use it is really fun to watch. I tend to chop back and down motion with this rather than the down and forward I use with my santoku. It has a great flat surface so you can use it to chop but it also has the ability to rock a bit as well. It's a beautiful profile and of course the handle with the red glass beading is absolutely my favorite, for looks and for comfort.

Rock or Chop
The Nakiri is perfect if you like to rock like a chef's knife or chop like a santoku. It was the perfect gift for my two sons who love to cook!
Miyabi knives have scalpel like sharpness due to a thin blade and very small edge angle, perfect for the thinnest of slices. The FC61 steel used for the blade is extremely durable and chip resistant making it perfect for Japanese knives. No worries of damaging your blade.

Nakiri is excellent chopping knife
I love to chop vegetables with this Nakiri knife it feels so sturdy and comfortable and the razor sharp edge slices through effortlessly. The Miyabi Koh series is made from FC61 steel which attains 61 on the hardness scale meaning it can retain it's sharp edge use after use. The mirror polished finish and traditional Japanese D shaped Pakkawood handle give this knife a clean comtemporary look.
