Kazoku Uteki Burlwood Yellow Nakiri

Designed specifically for vegetable prep, the Kazoku Uteki Burlwood Yellow Nakiri delivers unmatched precision, beauty, and performance. With its squared 17 cm blade and ultra-sharp edge, this Nakiri glides effortlessly through vegetables and fruit, making it a favorite among chefs and home cooks who value control and clean cuts.

Part of Kazoku’s fourth knife series, the Uteki collection is handcrafted in a small factory in Seki, Japan—renowned for centuries of knife-making excellence. The blade is forged from premium VG10 steel, a high-carbon stainless steel admired for its purity, sharpness, and edge retention. With a hardness of 60–61 HRC and sharpened to a precise 15° angle, the thin blade offers exceptional cutting ease and accuracy.

The blade features a hand-hammered Tsuchime finish, which adds character and reduces food sticking, allowing for smoother slicing with less resistance. Complementing the blade is an elegant octagonal handle made from yellow burlwood, ergonomically tapered to ensure comfort and control during use.

Combining function with traditional Japanese artistry, the Kazoku Uteki Nakiri is the ideal tool for anyone serious about vegetable preparation.
