The Masutani Hamono VG1 Tsuchime Nakiri is a knife I highly recommend to anyone looking for a lightweight, easy-to-use Japanese vegetable knife.
Handcrafted in Echizen, Fukui Prefecture—one of Japan’s most respected knife-making regions—this knife offers an excellent balance of sharpness, ease of use, durability, and value.
Made with a VG1 stainless steel core and stainless cladding, the blade offers very good sharpness while remaining easy to maintain. VG1 is a fine-grained, stain-resistant stainless steel, making it a practical choice for everyday use in both home and professional kitchens.
The 165mm Nakiri is designed specifically for vegetable preparation. Its wide, flat blade is ideal for chopping, slicing, and push-cutting vegetables, from onions and cabbage to herbs and root vegetables. The tall blade also provides comfortable knuckle clearance and makes it easy to scoop prepared ingredients from the board.
The one-piece octagonal smoke-blown oak handle keeps the knife lightweight and comfortable in the hand, providing excellent control during longer prep sessions.
Combining excellent cutting performance, traditional Japanese craftsmanship, easy maintenance, and great value, the Masutani VG1 Tsuchime Nakiri is a knife I confidently recommend to home cooks and professional chefs looking for a dedicated vegetable knife.
Please note: As these knives are handmade, there may be slight variations in dimensions, finish, colour, and handle appearance from knife to knife. The knife you receive may differ slightly from the one pictured.
