The Miyako series is a unique product from Japan. The Shizu Hamono forge team has carefully designed this series to be functionally, aesthetically and price-matched.

Nakiri is a knife that turns the chore of chopping vegetables into fun! Unlike other kitchen shapes, the flat profile of this knife comes into contact with the board almost on its entire surface, which makes it ideal for chopping and slicing vegetables. Don't be fooled by its appearance, you can also use this knife to cut boneless meat or any other food in fact. Nakiri is often the first choice because of its interesting and unusual shape.

The knife is made of stainless steel and keeps its sharpness for an extremely long time. It is an ideal choice whether you want a quality Japanese knife for yourself or as a gift. The blade is made of 33 layers of Damascus steel with a beautiful contrast between the hazy layers and the highly polished center steel that sits next to the blade.

The handle is made of D-shaped compressed wood and is polished to a matte finish that feels comfortable and secure.

After use, wash the knife by hand with lukewarm water and dry it.
Store the knife in a safe place where it will not collide with other utensils.

The best way to sharpen Japanese knives is by hand on a stone. We offer a professional kitchen knife sharpening service. If you decide to sharpen your knife yourself, take a look at the offer of sharpening stones on the website.
