Vegetable Knife Collection — The Excellence of Japanese Cutting

The Stay Sharp vegetable knife collection is designed for those looking for authentic, precise, and high-performance Japanese tools for preparing vegetables. It features two iconic shapes: the Nakiri and the Usuba , each designed to deliver a clean, smooth, and effortless cut. Whether you're a professional chef or a cooking enthusiast, these knives will help you with all your cutting tasks, from the simplest to the most technical.

Nakiri — Efficiency in the service of versatility

The Nakiri is a knife with a wide, thin, rectangular blade, specially designed for slicing vegetables evenly and quickly. Its full-length, flat edge allows for full contact with the cutting board, making it ideal for vertical cuts without rocking. Whether you're preparing julienne carrots, zucchini slices, or brunoise peppers, the Nakiri is an essential everyday ally.

Usuba — Tradition in the service of precision

The Usuba , traditionally used by Japanese chefs, is designed for precise cuts and refined presentations. Its thin blade, more rigid than that of the Nakiri, is perfect for making decorative cuts , meticulous carving or vegetable preparations for sushi and kaiseki . Its one-sided cutting edge (in its traditional version) allows exceptional control, especially for thin-skinned vegetables such as cucumber, daikon or eggplant.

Handcrafted, high-end materials

Our vegetable knives are made from high-quality steels, such as Japanese stainless steel or Damascus steel, renowned for their exceptional sharpness and durability. Each blade is carefully forged to retain its edge longer, reducing the need for sharpening. The ergonomic handles, often made of natural wood, provide a stable and comfortable grip, even during long cutting sessions.
