The Rosedale | Japanese Nakiri Knife – 170mm

Designed specifically for vegetable preparation, the Nakiri 170mm combines traditional Japanese knife design with highly practical stainless-steel performance. The blade features a Ginsan (Silver #3) stainless steel core, offering excellent sharpness, strong edge retention and corrosion resistance while remaining relatively easy to maintain and sharpen. Its tall, straight-edged Nakiri profile is ideal for clean push cuts through vegetables, herbs and fruit. The blade's subtle Nashiji, or “pear skin,” finish gives the knife a distinctive handcrafted appearance while helping reduce food sticking during prep. Finished with a beautifully grained natural olive wood Wa-style handle, this knife feels light and balanced in the hand while adding warmth and character to the traditional Japanese design.
