Shikoku 7" Nakiri Knife 菜切り包丁
The Shikoku 7" Nakiri Knife delivers the precision and balance of professional Japanese-style cutlery, designed to make vegetable preparation effortless and elegant. Its broad blade and fine edge transform everyday chopping into a smooth, controlled experience.
AUS10 Steel Core
Forged from premium AUS10 steel, the blade combines impressive hardness with excellent edge retention. Honed to a razor-sharp cutting angle, it glides through everything from tender herbs to dense root vegetables. The hammered finish across the upper blade reduces drag and prevents food from sticking, ensuring each cut is clean and efficient.
Olive Wood Handle
The handle is crafted from golden olive wood, prized for its warm color and naturally intricate grain. Smooth and beautifully contoured, it offers a comfortable, balanced grip that remains secure even during long prep sessions. Its octagonal design provides both control and elegance for chefs and home cooks alike.
Effortless Cutting Performance
Perfectly weighted and thoughtfully balanced, the Shikoku Nakiri allows for clean, precise cuts and easy scooping of prepared ingredients. Its wide blade and razor-sharp edge make it ideal for all types of vegetable work, from fine chiffonades to hearty slices.
A Statement of Culinary Craftsmanship
Combining modern AUS10 performance with the timeless beauty of olive wood, the Shikoku 7" Nakiri Knife is more than a kitchen tool. It is a piece of functional art that elevates your cooking experience and brings both luxury and confidence to every meal.
Crafted from professional-grade, heat-treated high-carbon steel, Shimeru Knives deliver exceptional sharpness, durability, and edge retention. From the first slice, you’ll experience the precision that sets us apart.
Our knives are guaranteed to be the sharpest you’ve ever owned. No exceptions, no compromises—just razor-sharp blades that elevate your culinary experience.
Shimeru Knives feature uniquely designed handles that not only add a sophisticated touch to your kitchen but also provide a comfortable, secure grip for effortless chopping and slicing.
With a double-bevel edge sharpened to 15°—compared to the standard 20-25° of most Western knives—our blades allow for smoother, faster cuts, enhancing your cooking efficiency by 2 to 3 times.
Not sure which knife?
Answer a few quick questions about how you cook, and we'll match you with the perfect blade.
Step 1 — Rinse
Warm water and mild soap after each use. Never put your knife in the dishwasher — the harsh detergents and jostling will damage the edge and handle.
Step 2 — Dry
Towel dry immediately. Don't leave it wet or in the sink — even stainless steel can develop spots if left damp.
Step 3 — Store
Use a knife block, magnetic strip, or blade guard. Never toss it loose in a drawer — it dulls the edge and is a safety hazard.
That's it — no special maintenance, no fussy rituals. Your Shimeru knife is designed for daily use. With these three steps it'll stay razor-sharp for years.
Its alright. Cuts veg fine and its sharp enough, but for fifty quid I expected a bit more. The handle feels a bit plasticky and it doesn't hold its edge as long as I hoped. Not bad, just not amazing.
Brilliant knife, exactly what I needed. Lovely edge on it and the balance is spot on. Been using it daily for a month now and still razor sharp.
Good knife overall, really sharp and cuts well. Only thing is the handle is a bit thin for my big hands, but I got used to it after a few days. Still a solid buy.
Nice knife, does the job well. The only minor thing is its slightly heavier than I thought it would be, but I actually quite like the weight now. Wish it came in an 8 inch version.
My dad's a keen cook and he loved this for his birthday. Said its the best knife hes ever used for veg. The hammered finish stops stuff sticking which is a bonus.
Proper chuffed with this. It's a massive upgrade from my old Victorinox. The blade is thin but feels sturdy, and it makes quick work of root veg. Arrived next day too.
Blimey, this thing is sharp out the box. Used it on a massive butternut squash and it went through like butter. Much nicer than my old Henckels.
So I finally upgraded from a cheap set and wow what a difference. The AUS10 steel holds an edge way longer than I expected. Makes prepping veg a pleasure.
Got this for my wife as a birthday present and shes over the moon. The hammered finish looks lovely and it chops veg like a dream. Came in a nice box too.
Cant believe how good this is for the money. Feels solid in the hand and the blade glides through onions without making me cry. Highly recommend.
