Designed for serious prep work in tight spaces, the Global GS-Series Nakiri Knife—also known as a Japanese vegetable knife—offers exceptional control for chopping, slicing, and dicing vegetables, meat, and more. The straight-edged, square-tipped blade excels at clean, downward cuts and is a popular alternative to the Santoku. Made from a single piece of CROMOVA 18 stainless steel and ice-tempered to Rockwell C56–58, the blade delivers long-lasting sharpness and corrosion resistance. The ergonomic handle, filled with sand for balance and control, is seamlessly attached to the blade and features Global’s iconic dimpled grip. Lightweight, hygienic, and perfectly balanced, this Nakiri knife is an essential tool for efficient, high-volume prep work in any kitchen.
