Razor-Sharp 5Cr15Mov Stainless Steel Blade

With a blade angle exceeding 60°, every slice is clean, precise, and effortless. Chopping, slicing, dicing, and mincing vegetables has never felt so satisfying.
Full Tang Construction for Superior Balance

Ergonomic Pakkawood Handle
The 13.5 cm ergonomic Pakkawood handle is crafted from eco-friendly composite wood that is moisture-resistant, durable, and naturally beautiful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes the XITUO Nakiri Knife different from a regular chef's knife?
A: The XITUO Nakiri Knife features a wide, flat rectangular blade specifically designed for Japanese-style vegetable cutting. Unlike a curved chef's knife, the Nakiri's straight edge allows full contact with the cutting board in a single downward stroke, resulting in cleaner, faster cuts through vegetables, herbs, and greens with minimal effort.
Q: Is the 5Cr15Mov stainless steel blade easy to maintain and sharpen?
A: Yes! 5Cr15Mov stainless steel is known for its excellent balance of hardness, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. The blade holds a sharp edge through regular use and can be easily resharpened with a whetstone or honing rod. Its stainless composition also makes it highly resistant to rust and staining with proper care.
Q: Is this knife suitable for beginner cooks?
A: Absolutely. The XITUO 7-Inch Nakiri Knife's full tang construction and ergonomic Pakkawood handle provide excellent balance and a secure, comfortable grip — making it approachable for beginners while still meeting the demands of experienced home chefs. Its intuitive straight-blade design makes vegetable prep straightforward and enjoyable.
