Nakiri 165mm (6.5 inch) – also known as a vegetable knife – is the “standard” Japanese size for cutting vegetables: its straight, high blade provides a flat surface contact with the cutting board, ensuring even, fast slices with minimal tearing. The 165mm / 6.5" length gives a solid grip and excellent control for push-cutting, pull-slicing, or tap-chopping every day. This Kasumi Japan Nakiri 165mm collection offers a variety of steel configurations, including White #2, Blue Super, VG-10, Silver #3, with finishes such as Damascus, Kurouchi, Nashiji, Polished, and options for wood/Urushi handles, ideal for both home and professional kitchens.

Why choose 165mm?
– Compact and ergonomic for comfortable handling and safe finger clearance.
– Flat blade, ideal for uniform slicing.
– Easily suited to different needs: from easy sharpening (White #2) to long-lasting edge retention (Blue Super).

If you often prepare vegetarian dishes, handle large prep tasks, or prefer a straight cut over the rocking motion of a chef’s knife, Nakiri 165mm is the perfect balance of performance and versatility.
