Western kitchens are built around the chef knife — one blade for everything, the rocking motion, the curved belly. That works fine until you're doing real vegetable prep: a pound of onions for a stew, three bell peppers for stir-fry, a bunch of cilantro for tacos. The rocking motion is slow on that kind of work, and the curve means the heel of the blade leaves the board on every stroke — which crushes more delicate produce as it falls off the edge. The Nakiri solves both problems. Flat 7-inch blade, square tip, every cut reaches the board in one straight downward press. Through onions, faster than a chef knife. Through tomato skin, with less pressure. Through herbs, without bruising the leaves. Forged from high-carbon German steel, hand-honed to a 14–16° edge per side, set into a triple-riveted Pakkawood handle that stays comfortable through long prep sessions. Full-tang, balanced, lifetime warranty. The vegetable knife your kitchen has been pretending the chef knife was for years.

All Cutluxe knives are forged from high-carbon German steel — rust-resistant, impact-tough, and precision-tapered to a razor-sharp 14–16° edge. Handles are crafted from ergonomic Pakkawood for a secure, comfortable grip in any condition. Every knife features full tang construction for maximum balance and control. To keep your knife performing at its best: Hand-wash only — dishwashers damage the edge and handle over time Dry immediately after washing to prevent moisture build-up Hone regularly with a honing rod to keep the edge aligned between sharpenings Store on a magnetic strip, in a knife roll, or in a block — never loose in a drawer Use a wooden or plastic cutting board; glass and ceramic surfaces dull the blade

6" Thin & Curved Boning Knife

I’ve always liked working with sharp knives and tools, so I carefully searched for the best balance between cost and quality—that’s how I found Cutluxe.
Unfortunately, one of the sharpening stones arrived damaged during shipping, so I contacted their customer service team. Their response was much faster than expected, and they promptly provided a solution.
This clearly shows their professionalism and commitment to customers. I highly recommend buying with confidence. Cutluxe is a serious, reliable brand and definitely worth the investment.

In Dec/25, I ordered the 5" Santoku for myself. I love it SO much, I bought 2 others for gifts. 1) The knife is well weighted, comfortable to hold, easy to use, sharp, sharp, sharp and beautiful to look at. 2) I know the recipients will love their Santoku as much as I love mine. 3) The packaging of the knife is amazing which is important if you are giving it as a gift. Very classy. 4) The customer service at Cutluxe is stellar. I had an issue regarding a return (of my own doing) and their response time immediate, polite and professional. I was very impressed with this aspect of the business. I have told many friends about the quality of the product and the superior after-sales responses. Thank you Cutluxe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need a Nakiri if I already have a chef knife?

Not strictly — but you'll wonder how you cooked without one within two weeks of owning it. The chef knife is a great generalist; the Nakiri is a vegetable specialist. For the half of your prep that's onions, peppers, herbs, lettuce, cucumber, and leafy stuff, the Nakiri is faster, cleaner, and more comfortable through long sessions. The chef knife still earns its slot for protein and the cuts that benefit from a rocking motion. Most cooks who add a Nakiri end up reaching for it before the chef knife for vegetable-heavy meals. If you're cooking real food at home more than three nights a week, the Nakiri pays for itself in saved prep time.

What does the flat edge actually give me?

Three things. One: every cut reaches the board on every stroke. A curved chef knife leaves the board at the heel and the tip; a flat Nakiri makes full contact across the whole edge. That means no half-cut onion sliver still hanging on after the chop. Two: a downward press is faster than a rocking motion through the same volume of produce. You cover more food per stroke. Three: less crushing pressure on soft tissue — tomato skin slices clean instead of bruising, basil cuts instead of mashing, lettuce stays crisp instead of going limp. Most cooks notice the contact-with-board difference first and the soft-produce difference second. The speed shows up by week two.

7″ Nakiri vs 7″ Santoku — which is right for me?

Different blades, different priorities. The Santoku has a slight curve and a rounded tip (the name means "three virtues" — meat, fish, vegetables — it's a generalist Japanese knife). The Nakiri is flat-edged with a square tip and strictly built for vegetable work. If you want one Japanese knife that does almost everything: Santoku. If you want a vegetable specialist that pairs with your existing chef knife for protein: Nakiri. Most kitchens are better off with a chef knife plus a Nakiri than with two semi-generalists. The Santoku Knife Set 2-Piece is the alternative if you want to skip the Western chef knife entirely.

How do I take care of a Nakiri?

Hand-wash, towel-dry, store on a magnetic strip or in a block. The thin blade is more vulnerable to dishwasher damage than a thicker chef knife, so this isn't optional — heat and detergent eat the edge faster than anything else. Avoid glass cutting boards too; the harder surface micro-chips the edge. Hone every two or three uses on a 10″ Sharpening Rod, three to five strokes per side at the matching 14–16° angle. A full sharpening on a whetstone or rolling sharpener is a once-a-year job. Treat the edge like it matters — because the Nakiri is sharper than most kitchen knives, and the cutting feel disappears if you let it dull.

Is this a good gift, and what's the return situation?

It's one of the best single-knife gifts you can give to a cook who already owns a chef knife — it doesn't compete with what they have, it fills a real gap. Pairs naturally with the 7″ Santoku as a layered gift, or with the 10″ Sharpening Rod as a maintenance bundle. Looks distinctly Japanese in the gift box, which gives it a presence chef-knife gifts don't have. Lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects for the original owner. 30-day money-back covers everything else — wrong fit, change of mind, doesn't suit the kitchen. The knife goes back without an argument, no restock fees.

Fabulous knife!

I love them.
They're great looking knives. I will use them in my barbecue cooking

So far so good! Extremely sharp! I like it

GREAT KNIVES !!!! I've been a Chef for over 45 years, and at my home I have an extensive knife selection, Well when these knives arrived I was very Pleasantly surprised. They are the real deal, and Man are they Sharp. I love the Sharpening Steel too, it's a game changer. I've only had them 2 weeks, but I put them right to work and they delivered. So Thank you for a great Product at a very reasonable price. I hope you all do well, you have a great product there. Dave Wilson Round Rock Texas

Beautiful balance and a wonderful blade for chopping and dicing !!

The perfect set....I already own the 12"brisket knife...but I ordered the BBQ set because I needed a new carving set...love it!!

Just like many other Chinese made decent quality knives; the handles are very solid but too heavy. The balance is off, but quality for the money is there.

Great,sharp knife. I like it.

My first use was to half chicken breasts for cutlets. The knife cut through each chicken breast like butter. I’m very pleased with the quality and performance of the pair of knives in the set.

Mostly pleased. Priced well. A little bit less stable than. I would like. Using on refrigerator side panel.
