Use wood or soft synthetic cutting boards, not glass, stone, metal, or bamboo.

Store with the blade protected.
Hone gently when needed and use appropriate sharpening methods for the edge; serrated edges should be professionally serviced rather than sharpened like a plain edge.

Shun Premier Nakiri 5.5" Knife
5.5" Japanese vegetable knife with straight cutting edge, hammered Damascus blade, and walnut Pakkawood handle
The Shun Premier 5.5" Nakiri Knife is a dedicated vegetable knife for clean push cuts through onions, greens, carrots, and other produce. Its broad rectangular blade and relatively straight edge encourage efficient board contact, while the shorter length offers precise control for everyday preparation.
Why Order from Design & Grace
Design & Grace is an authorized Shun retailer. Your purchase is backed by Shun’s limited lifetime manufacturer warranty, with knowledgeable support from our Texas team.
Made for Vegetable Preparation
A nakiri is intended for chopping down and forward rather than rocking like a chef’s knife. The broad blade can also help move chopped vegetables from the board to a bowl or pan.
Signature Features
Straight nakiri profile: Full, clean contact for push cutting and vegetable prep.
VG-MAX steel: Fine 16° double-beveled edge supported by 68 layers of Damascus cladding.
Hammered tsuchime surface: Helps slices release from the blade.
Pakkawood handle: Contoured walnut-colored grip resists moisture.
From Our Founder
"For someone who prepares vegetables every day, the compact nakiri brings useful control. It is a different working motion from a chef’s knife, not simply a smaller version."
Tony Boulton, Founder, Design & Grace
