5 reviews for Yoshida Hamono Nakiri Knife

  1. Michael

    The edge retention is impressive—after a month of daily use, it still slices thin, even pieces. The wooden handle gives a solid grip, and the blade’s balance makes long chops feel effortless.

  2. Robert

    I grabbed this Nakiri for slicing veggies to grill alongside burgers. It’s sturdy, feels balanced, and the blade stays sharp even after chopping through bell peppers and corn.

  3. Laura

    I recommend this Nakiri to clients who cook at home—it’s affordable and performs beautifully. The blade cuts through broccoli and carrots easily, and the handle stays comfortable during long prep sessions.

  4. Emily

    I prep vegan meal-kits for a small Denver startup and this 6.5-inch Nakiri turns mountains of zucchini into perfect half-moons in minutes. The Aogami #2 core stays laser-sharp a full week of 8-hour shifts—no honing rod needed

  5. Trevor

    Two months of daily salad duty and I still haven’t touched a whetstone. Even tough watermelon rind parts clean under the flat edge—no wedging or cracking

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Dry immediately after use. These are high-carbon beauties—tough, sharp, but not fans of moisture.
  • Hand-wash only. No dishwashers. Ever. Seriously.
  • Use a wooden or end-grain cutting board to preserve that razor edge.
  • Oil the blade lightly with food-grade mineral oil if storing for long periods.
  • Use a whetstone. Start with 1000 grit and move to 3000+ for polishing. Honing rods are fine between sharpening sessions.
  • Frequency? About every 3–6 months depending on use. When it starts squishing tomatoes instead of slicing—time to sharpen.
  • Knives: 3–5 business days
  • Shirts, mugs, and other gear: 5–7 business days
    Because good things (and grumpiness) take time.
  • We offer 30-day free returns, no questions asked.
    Just cover the return shipping, and we’ll handle the rest.
  • Currently, we ship to the USA only. Working on global domination… one grumpy dad at a time.
