A clean and classic nakiri from Tojiro’s wa-series, built with Japanese precision and tuned for veg-forward domination. With a wide blade and tall heel, this 170mm nakiri gives you tons of board contact for clean push cuts—ideal for everything from delicate greens to dense root veg.
Crafted in Tsubame-Sanjo, Japan’s blade-making heartland, this piece carries the Niigata Brand stamp—proof of its regionally certified craftsmanship. The mono-steel stainless construction keeps things simple, low-maintenance, and razor sharp, while the burnt chestnut wa handle adds warmth, grip, and balance to the hand.
At 164g, it’s got just enough heft to drop through food with ease, while still feeling fast and agile on the board.
