The Ginsui 7" Nakiri Knife is designed for those who appreciate the art of precise vegetable preparation and the elegance of traditional Japanese-style cutlery. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, it brings professional performance and timeless beauty to your kitchen.
Masterful Stainless Steel Construction
Forged from professional-grade high-carbon stainless steel, the Ginsui Nakiri delivers exceptional durability and a long-lasting razor-sharp edge. Each blade is carefully heat-treated and sharpened to perfection, achieving a 15° edge that provides superior cutting performance compared to typical Western knives. From delicate herbs to dense root vegetables, you will feel the difference from the very first cut.
Mkuruti Wood Handle
The handle is crafted from beautifully grained Mkuruti wood, valued for its natural strength and warm, rich tones. Chemically stabilized to resist warping or cracking, it offers a comfortable, secure grip that remains reliable even during extended use. Its octagonal shape ensures perfect balance and control for both professional chefs and passionate home cooks.
Precision and Lasting Performance
Expertly balanced and thoughtfully designed, the Ginsui Nakiri glides through vegetables with clean, effortless cuts. The wide blade makes it easy to scoop and transfer ingredients, turning everyday cooking into a professional, seamless experience.

Not sure which knife?
Answer a few quick questions about how you cook, and we'll match you with the perfect blade.
Really nice knife, super sharp and looks the part. My only very minor thing is the handle shape is a bit different to what I'm used to, took a day or two to get comfortable with it. But overall its fantastic, definitely recommend it.
Bought this for my husband whos really into cooking. He absolutely loves it, says its the best knife he's ever had for chopping veg. He's always going on about how it's perfectly balanced. Came in a nice box as well which was a nice touch.
Ok so I was a bit nervous spending this much on a single knife but I'm so glad I did. Makes quick work of onions and peppers, my prep time has halved. The flat profile is perfect for push cutting. Massive upgrade from the supermarket set I had before, feels like a proper bit of kit.
Does the job very well. I use it all the time. Kind of wish it came with a simple edge guard or something for storage, but that's me being lazy. The knife itself is great.
So sharp out of the box. I was a bit nervous using it at first but it's just brilliant. Makes prepping veg for a Sunday roast an absolute doddle.
Brilliant knife, exactly what I needed. Lovely edge on it.
Great knife. Feels really well made and it looks the part on the magnetic strip. Does exactly what it says on the tin.
So I got this to replace my old cheap nakiri and the difference is night and day. The edge is ridiculously sharp, goes through carrots and butternut squash like they're butter. Been using it for all my veg prep for a month now and it's still just as good. Handle feels solid too.
I use this nearly every day, mostly for onions and garlic. It's so much better than my old santoku for that push-cut chopping. Very happy.
Used it to prep a full veg box delivery and my wrist didn't ache at all. The balance is really good. Definitely recommend.
Cant believe how good this is for the price. The finish is lovely and it feels really solid in the hand. Used it to chop a mountain of carrots and it didn't struggle at all.
Perfect for my small hands. The size is ideal and it's not too heavy. Makes quick work of celery and leeks.
Impressed with the sharpness and build quality. I think the handle, while nice, could be a bit more textured for grip when your hands are wet. But that's being picky, it's a good purchase.
Massive upgrade from the cheap set I had. The blade is so thin, it just falls through vegetables. Really pleased with it.
Really well packaged. The knife itself is a beauty, cuts through tomatoes without squashing them. Edge retention seems good so far.
Bought this for my husband who loves cooking, he absolutely loves it. Says the balance is spot on and it's his new favourite thing in the kitchen. Came in a nice box too.
First proper Japanese knife I've owned and I'm impressed. The edge is something else, stays sharp for ages. Used it on everything from peppers to butternut squash.
A quality knife, no doubt. My partner finds it perfect but for me, the handle is just a tiny bit too slim. Still, it's a massive step up from what we had and I use it loads.
I was a bit sceptical but this knife is legit. The steel feels quality and it sharpened up a dream on my whetstone. A proper bit of kit.
Been wanting a proper nakiri for ages and this didn't disappoint. It's lightweight and super precise, my veg prep has never been quicker or neater.
Very good knife, cuts beautifully. I do wish it was maybe an inch longer, just for when I'm doing big batches of cabbage or something. But for most jobs it's spot on.
Really happy with this, it's a solid knife. The edge is fantastic. I suppose I was hoping the finish on the blade would be a bit more polished, but that doesn't affect how it cuts.
It's a decent knife. Does what it's supposed to. I guess I was expecting to be more wowed for the money, it's fine but nothing special. Cuts veg okay, handle is alright. Does the job.
Arrived next day which was a bonus. Knife itself is fantastic, the flat profile is perfect for chopping herbs and the like. Handle is comfortable, no complaints at all.
Lovely knife, does everything I need. My only minor gripe is I find it a tad heavier than I expected, but that's probably just my preference. Still performs brilliantly.
