Product Overview

A 165 mm nakiri for vegetable preparation, with a broad rectangular stainless-steel blade and a black three-rivet handle. The Japanese-made Wakatake AB5424 is suitable for right- and left-handed cooks.

Its straighter cutting profile suits chopping and slicing vegetables on a board. Choose it as a dedicated vegetable knife alongside a pointed gyuto or a general-purpose santoku from the same Wakatake range.

KAI Sekimagoroku Wakatake AB5424 165 mm nakiri knife with black three-rivet handle

A rectangular blade for vegetables

The broad 165 mm blade ends in a squared front rather than a chef knife's pointed tip. Its straighter profile is well suited to controlled chopping and slicing of vegetables on a stable cutting board.

The knife measures approximately 293 mm overall and weighs approximately 118 g. For a more general preparation shape, choose the Wakatake santoku; for extra reach and a pointed tip, choose the 180 mm gyuto.

Stainless steel and straightforward care

The single-layer stainless-steel blade is paired with a black polypropylene-and-nylon handle. Three visible rivets secure the grip. The handle materials are heat resistant to 110°C for polypropylene and 170°C for nylon; these are material ratings, not instructions to expose the knife to cooking heat.

The knife is suitable for a dishwasher or dish dryer. Remove food residue and moisture promptly after use, then dry thoroughly before storage. Stainless steel can still stain or rust if left dirty or wet. Keep the cutting edge protected and clear of other utensils when loading or storing it.
