Crafted in the Knife capital of the world—Thiers, France—the Nakiri is forged by a 5th generation bladesmith and hardened with nitrogen. Its design combines the utilitarianism of German blades with the precision of Japanese knives.
Instead of being cheaply welded together, all of our Knives are full tang and fully forged, meaning they are crafted from a single rod of stainless steel that extends from tip to handle—resulting in sharper, perfectly balanced blades.
A staple of Japanese cuisine with a Spanish wood handle, the straight, blunt edges of the Nakiri are perfect for slicing, dicing, and chopping vegetables as it cuts straight down without rocking like rounded blades. Discover the difference having a dedicated chopping knife will make in your prep.
In Thiers, France, artisans use high pressure hammering to create a stronger and longer-lasting blade.
Patiently crafted from a single rod of metal, a full tang knife offers more balance and fewer weak points.
With a precise 12.5-degree edge angle, our knives are designed to be cutting edge — and stay that way.

“When you grab those knives and you go to slice or chop, the handle should feel good in your hand. The Made In knives definitely meet that requirement and they also keep their edge, and that’s really really important”
