Chitose 7″ Nakiri Knife 菜切り包丁
The Chitose 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 Chitose 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 Chitose 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.

Really like this knife for prepping veg. The blade is dead sharp and slices through peppers and onions like butter. The hammered finish does help with food not sticking which is a nice touch. Only reason its not 5 stars is the handle feels a bit small for my hands, takes some getting used to but once you do its fine. Decent for the price, would recommend.

Its an ok knife. Sharp enough out the box but honestly expected a bit more for the money. Doesnt feel massively different to my old £20 santoku if im honest. Build quality seems fine but just not blown away. Will keep using it but probably wouldnt buy again.
Jo (verified owner) –
really solid bit of kit for the price. the edge is quality and i like the hammered finish stops things sticking. only thing is the handle feels a bit chunky in my small hands, takes some getting used to but i still grab it over me old chef’s knife now

got this for my wife whos the cook in the house and shes over the moon with it. the blade just sinks through carrots and spuds like theyre made of butter, its a joy to watch. came in a lovely box too which was a nice touch, proper present material
Alfie (verified owner) –
Bought this as a gift for my dad who loves a bit of Japanese steel. He said it feels lovely in the hand, really well made and scary sharp. Only thing he mentioned was it’s a bit heavier than his old nakiri, but he’s already got used to it after a few days. For the price you get a cracking knife. The AUS10 steel is a nice touch, keeps its edge ages. Would recommend.

So i bought this nakiri on a whim after seeing good reviews. Honestly its the best kitchen knife ive ever owned. The balance is spot on and it chops through a cabbage like butter. I do a lot of stir fries and this has made prep so much quicker. The hammered finish does actually help with food release, noticed it especially when dicing onions. Arrived next day, well packaged. My wife keeps nicking it for her veg prep now.

Really nice little knife for the money. I do a lot of veg prep and this has become my go-to, its just the right weight and the steel holds an edge well (AUS10 I think it is). Only tiny niggle is the handle shape, felt a bit blocky at first compared to my Tojiro but Im getting used to it. If they did a slightly longer version I’d probably grab that too.

Got this nakiri for my wife’s birthday, she’s been wanting one for ages. Used it yesterday to do a big batch of stir fry veg and honestly it was a joy. The flat blade makes chopping so much faster, no rocking, just straight up and down. The hammered finish really does help, hardly anything stuck to it even with spuds. Sharp as anything out the box, glides through carrots and celery. Came in a nice padded box too, proper presentation.

blade is lovely and sharp out the box, been using it for a fortnight mainly for onions and cabbage and it makes the job so much quicker. the steel holds its edge well, havent had to strop it yet. if im being picky its a touch heavier than my last nakiri but I actually prefer the weight now, feels more controlled. wish they did a 6 inch version for my smaller hands but I’ll get used to it

got this as a pressie for my mum who does a lot of batch cooking and she’s over the moon with it. used it at hers last weekend to prep a massive veg soup and blimey it just glides through carrots and spuds. the hammered finish isnt just for looks, things dont stick to it like my old santoku. feels proper quality for the price. only thing is the blade is a bit wider than shes used to but she’s got the hang of it now
Freya Russell (verified owner) –
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.
Claire Palmer (verified owner) –
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.
Tim Wood (verified owner) –
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.
Liam (verified owner) –
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.
Charlotte Hart (verified owner) –
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.
Nic Wood (verified owner) –
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.
Emily Evans (verified owner) –
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.
Molly (verified owner) –
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.
