The Ocean Azure 7" Japanese Nakiri

The Ocean Azure 7" Japanese Nakiri by Misuki | 67-Layer Damascus Steel

The Master of Vegetables

Transform your prep work into a seamless experience of precision and speed. The Misuki Ocean Azure Nakiri is a specialized Japanese vegetable cleaver designed for those who value clean, paper-thin slices. Unlike a curved chef’s knife, the Nakiri’s flat edge and squared-off tip allow for a complete "push-cut" motion—ensuring every slice goes all the way through to the cutting board without the need for a rocking motion.

Masterfully Crafted Features

The Ultimate Vegetable Specialist: The broad, flat blade is perfected for slicing, dicing, and mincing everything from delicate herbs to hardy root vegetables. Its height also serves as a built-in bench scraper to move your prep from board to pot.

67-Layer Damascus Excellence: Forged with a premium VG10 Japanese Super-Steel core, this blade is vacuum heat-treated to 60 ± 2 HRC. The result is a professional-grade edge that retains its "out-of-the-box" sharpness through thousands of cuts.

The Signature Ocean Azure Handle: Featuring our iconic fusion of imported blue resin and stabilized wood, the handle is designed for comfort. The ergonomic taper ensures your hand remains fatigue-free, providing maximum control for the rhythmic "tap-tap-tap" of traditional Japanese chopping.

Friction-Reducing Finish: The hand-polished Damascus surface minimizes surface tension, allowing the blade to pass through starchy vegetables like potatoes and cucumbers without them sticking to the steel.

The Misuki Promise

Artistry is in the details. Because each handle is individually poured and stabilized, the blue "oceanic" swirls in your Nakiri are entirely unique. No two blades in the world are exactly alike—making this as much a kitchen centerpiece as it is a world-class tool.
