7 Inch Nakiri Knife - Daimyo Series - Japanese Stainless Steel Vegetable Cleaver

Introducing the Shogun Koi from the brand Previous, a new release in high-end Japanese cutlery. After the decline of the samurai in 1868, Japanese swordsmiths turned their attention to cutlery, leading to unprecedented innovation. Inspired by the honor and integrity of these master bladesmiths, Kyoku is on a mission to make high-quality Japanese cutlery accessible to professional chefs and home cooks worldwide.

The Shogun Koi series features a selection of kitchen knife sets with a sleek and user-friendly design, including the Samurai, Daimyo, and Shogun Gin series. Each set offers superior performance with a scalpel-like edge that effortlessly cuts through vegetables, providing smooth and precise chopping, mincing, and dicing. The knives are easy to maintain, as a little effort in maintenance goes a long way in preserving their quality and extending their lifespan. By washing them with warm soapy water and wiping them clean with a non-abrasive cloth, you can keep your knives in top condition.

To keep your edge sharp, hold your honing rod steady and position your knife at a 20° angle against the rod. Apply light pressure and draw the blade down the rod several times on each side to maintain the sharpness of your blade.

Kyoku also offers a range of individual knives from the Daimyo series, including a 7” Nakiri knife, 4.5” Paring knife, 6.5” Boning knife, 7” Santoku knife, 7” Cleaver, 8” Chef knife, and 10” Bread knife. Each knife is crafted with Japanese 440C steel and features a rosewood handle for superior precision and control.
