The 170 mm long Samura Harakiri Nakiri knife is a classic Japanese knife designed for handling vegetables and herbs. Its one-piece AUS-8 steel blade with a forged pattern and a handle made of stabilized wood look very stylish. The traditionally wide, very thin, and sharp blade, reminiscent of an axe, allows for easy and quick chopping of salad or delicate cuts of vegetables without crushing or breaking the food.
