A Homerun!
on April 18, 2020
Posted by: CookinginCali
I gave this knife to my cousin and his wife since they were looking to start using 'grown up tools' in their kitchen. The kids were old enough and they just decided it was time. He thanks me every time we see each other, and occasionally I get pictures of something they have cooked. This is that kind of knife, it inspires love and cooking creativity. It is a hybrid of Japanese and German knife making tradition. The handle is a perfect example. It is a little heavier like a German knife, but a little narrower like a Japanese knife. The steel that the blade is made of is German and the craftsmanship is Japanese. The combination is a hard durable blade that stays sharp for a long time. Hone it regularly and sharpen maybe once a year; you'll have it forever.
In this case the shape of the knife is all Japanese. The nakiri is an excellent chopping knife. It cuts up meats and vegetables easily. Great for vegetable-centric diets. Dishwasher safe, but hand wash to retain the beauty and look of new.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This Miyabi Evolution Nakiri is exactly what everyone needs in their kitchen. This knife is so sharp that I actually enjoy cutting tough veggies. Prep becomes seamless. This handle is very much a German style handle which is why I love this knife. It is a good mixture of the sharpness of a Japanese knife and the handle of a German knife. There is no doubt this will be a purchase you will love.

New and exciting

I had never heard of let alone used a Nakiri, but when I saw it i was intrigued. I use it much like I use my santoku but it's so much more fun and and the motion to use it is really fun to watch. I tend to chop back and down motion with this rather than the down and forward I use with my santoku. It has a great flat surface so you can use it to chop but it also has the ability to rock a bit as well. It's a beautiful profile and of course the handle with the red glass beading is absolutely my favorite, for looks and for comfort.

Can be used instead of Chef or Santoku

This beautiful Nakiri does an amazing job on any chopping, cutting or slicing job. It is made from FC61 steel which insures its hardness but it is ice hardened to make it durable...no chipping or cracking. This is made in Japan and has the traditional thin blade to ensure the finest slices.

Perfect Gift for Knife Lovers
on April 3, 2020

I bought this knife for two of my sons for Christmas. Both love to cook and one works in a restaurant. They love it and use it every day.
The Nakiri is such a great blade shape and with it's scalpel-like edge, it can make light work of any chopping task. Prior to this gift, I had never given them a Japanese knife because I was worried they would chip the blade. But Evolution is made of FC61 steel which is very durable and chip resistant.

Love the combo of a German/Japanese knife - gives you the best of both worlds! The Nikiri is a newer addition to the Evolution series and it is a must-have! Can be used in place of the Chef or Santoku and cuts all veggies and meats equally well. Nice to know craftsmanship takes 42 days to make a knife like this! Speaks for itself.

Evolution has always been my favorite line of knives from Miyabi. Very approachable, easy to care for and familar in the hand.
Now Miyabi has added a Nakiri to the collection! This blade is perfect for slicing and dicing veggies. Also works for thinly slicing chicken and beef strips.
