Sanmeiho 7" Nakiri

Sanmeiho 7-inch nakiri — a rectangular vegetable knife

This card is the Sanmeiho 7" Nakiri — “SANMEIHO 7 Inch Nakiri Knife, Ultra Sharp Vegetable Kitchen Knife.” A nakiri chops straight down. No pointed tip, no bread serrations, no k-tip. Seven inches of flat edge for herbs, onion, and cabbage. Maker: Sanmeiho. SKU KV-78.

The catalog notes powder steel on the kitchen shelf and a 63 HRC class. The structured steel field is empty, so the JSON-LD will not invent a mill name. Treat the blurb as the hardness/class language for this page; do not copy 60 HRC from Xinzuo or 61–62 from an M390 folder.

Seven inches of nakiri is a produce specialist. Cabbage, herbs, onion, cucumber. It will not replace Sanmeiho’s chef’s knife for a roast. It will not replace the 10-inch bread knife. Add it when vegetables are half your board time.

Corners chip on glass boards. Use wood. Hand-wash. Priced in CAD, Kitchen shelf, adults 18+, The Knife Vault. If you wanted a santoku with a tip (Atumuryou 7-inch VG-10), that is a Damascus-shelf card, not this Sanmeiho nakiri.

Vegetable geometry versus a santoku

A santoku still has a tip. A nakiri is a thin cleaver silhouette for produce. It is the wrong tool for a roast and the right one for a board of greens. If you wanted Sanmeiho’s 3-piece set, the nakiri is extra, not included in that trio’s title.

• Form: 7-inch nakiri. Maker: Sanmeiho. SKU: KV-78.
• Shelf: Kitchen. Finish: Premium steel.
• Job: push-cut vegetables. Not a meat cleaver, not a bunka.

Use and care

Straight chops, claw grip, no rocking. Hand-wash. Hone the long flat edge; there is no tip to baby, but the corners will chip if you hit a board edge. Priced in CAD. Adults 18+.
