The DHF Nakiri is the vegetable assassin you've been looking for! These knives are ground Flat and Thin to create as little cut resistance as possible. A full thickness spine, with no distal blade taper, keeps the blade firm and straight through all prep projects. Firm, Lightweight, and razor sharp... 

AEB-L HC stainless steel allows DHF to design the blade with both high Rockwell hardness abilities and corrosion resistance. This gives the user high performance without the additional maintenance required from pure carbon steel. AEB-L is arguably the nicest culinary stainless steel available today.  At 61 HRC this steel has both edge retention and sharpenablity. We feel that it is important to consider not only 'Out of the box' performance but also the users ability to maintain what is nothing less than a lifetime culinary tool.

Hand size Chart:

If you’re new to Eastern cutlery, we recommend one of our hybrid handles like the western Wa. These combine a traditional pinch point, eastern top-lines, with a comfortable western underbelly. If your looking for a lighter grip or faster feel, we’d suggest you go with one of our modified Wa styles or “Shorty” styles. These are designed to be acute and quick in feel. The “Shorty” styles allow extremely fast, repetitive push cuts by removing the longer counterbalance from the rear of the handle. For those who may find holding handles difficult, for reasons like arthritis, DHF suggest going up a handle size from the listed chart reference below,
