Spalted Maple Nakiri | 150mm Japanese Vegetable Knife | Reclaimed High Carbon Steel | Handmade in Canada

The nakiri is a Japanese kitchen staple — purpose-built for effortless vegetable preparation. The Spalted Maple Nakiri is crafted from reclaimed century-old high carbon sawmill steel, hardened to approximately 61HRC for exceptional edge retention. Its broad, straight-edged blade makes quick work of everything from delicate herbs to dense root vegetables, delivering clean, precise cuts with minimal effort. At 150mm, this nakiri strikes an ideal balance between versatility and control. The 47mm blade height provides generous knuckle clearance, while its remarkably light 100-gram weight makes it a joy to use through extended prep sessions. The wa-style handle is crafted from a single piece of beautifully figured spalted maple. Natural dark streaks weave through the pale wood, creating striking patterns that make each handle entirely unique. The contrast between the warm maple and its intricate black figuring gives this knife a distinctive character without sacrificing the simplicity of its design. A handcrafted heirloom for the serious home cook or professional chef — built to be used, and built to last generations. For current production times, please visit our knife info page.
