Product Description:
Are You looking for a Nakiri knife from Solingen that gives You strong control when cutting vegetables, herbs and fine ingredients? This VOCUT Nakiri knife with a 16 cm forged blade, broad blade shape, 15° sharpening angle and olive wood handle combines a Japanese-inspired Nakiri shape with Solingen knife craftsmanship.
A Nakiri is especially useful when You work a lot on the cutting board. The broad blade helps You guide vegetables cleanly, cut herbs finely and prepare ingredients with control. Thanks to the straight cutting edge, the knife is especially suitable for precise push cuts. When You prepare carrots, zucchini, peppers, cabbage, onions or herbs, You quickly notice the advantage of this blade shape.
I grew up in Solingen surrounded by knife craftsmanship. My father worked for many years as a finisher for Solingen knife manufacturers. Because of that, I learned early what really matters in a good knife: it has to cut cleanly, feel balanced in the hand and prove itself in daily use. That same mindset defines this Nakiri knife.
The forged blade is made of rust-resistant X50CrMoV15 stainless steel / 1.4116 knife steel. This steel is often used for high-quality kitchen knives because it offers a good balance of sharpness, easy care and corrosion resistance. With a hardness range of 56–58 HRC, the Nakiri is practical, stable and well suited for regular use in Your kitchen.
The edge is produced with a 15° sharpening angle. This creates a fine, precise cutting edge that supports clean cuts and gives You good control when working with vegetables, herbs and other fine ingredients.
With a 16 cm blade length, 4.5 cm blade width, 4 mm blade thickness and approx. 195 g weight, the Nakiri feels stable in the hand. The 14 cm handle gives You a secure grip, while the broad blade helps You cut and pick up ingredients from the board. Especially when preparing a lot of vegetables, this shape is very comfortable in daily use.
The handle is made of olive wood from Italy. At VOCUT, I like this combination of function and character. Olive wood feels warm, offers a comfortable grip and gives each knife its own natural appearance through the grain. That turns a kitchen knife into something You actually enjoy using.
A typical real-life use case is fresh vegetable preparation in Your kitchen: slicing peppers, dicing onions, finely chopping herbs, cutting cabbage or preparing vegetables for the pan, grill and salad. Instead of working with too little blade surface, this Nakiri knife gives You a tool made for controlled board work.
For me, VOCUT is not an anonymous brand name, but a personal knife project from Solingen. The goal is not just to offer knives that look good, but knives that perform in real use. If You want to learn more about our origin and knives from the blade city, You can find more information on our page knives from Solingen.
If You want to personalize Your Nakiri knife, this model is also optionally suitable for laser engraving. Whether it is a name, a short custom text or a logo, it can become a personal gift or a knife with its own identity. You can also find answers about engraving, care and shipping in our frequently asked questions.
