      FAQs

      How does a Nakiri knife differ from a standard chef knife when preparing vegetables?

      A Nakiri features a straight, flat blade edge that makes full contact with the cutting board, delivering clean, precise cuts without “rocking.” This design is perfect for vegetables because it prevents wedging, reduces bruising, and ensures ultra-consistent slices, something a curved chef knife can’t always achieve.

      Can this Nakiri handle tougher vegetables like pumpkin or sweet potato?

      Yeswith proper technique. The AUS-10 Damascus blade is strong enough for firm vegetables, but it’s not intended for forceful twisting or prying. For thick-skinned items like pumpkin, use controlled downward cuts. For extremely hard gourds or bones, a heavier cleaver is recommended to protect the thin Damascus edge.

      Is the resin handle stable for long cutting sessions involving lots of chopping?

      Absolutely. The resin handle is moisture-resistant, durable, and shaped to support a comfortable pinch grip. Its rounded rectangle profile reduces hand fatigue during repetitive chopping, making it ideal for batch prep of vegetables.

      Does the included sheath help keep the blade sharp during storage?

      Yes. The white leather sheath protects the edge from contact with other utensils, preventing chips and dulling. It’s especially useful for chefs who store knives in drawers or transport them in rolls. Always ensure the blade is completely dry before inserting it to prevent moisture buildup.

      What is the return or warranty policy for this knife?

      Chef Supply Co stands by its products and all Chef Supply Co branded products are backed by our limited lifetime warranty. Products not branded Chef Supply Co only carry a 12 month warranty unless the otherwise advised by the manufacturer.

      We cover any faults of materials or workmanship at our discretion.

      Can this knife cut through bones or frozen foods?

      We recommend using a cleaver or specialty knife for bones or frozen items. Using a standard kitchen knife may damage the blade.

      Is this knife dishwasher-safe?

      We recommend handwashing to protect the blade’s edge and maintain the handle’s integrity. Dishwashers can dull the blade and damage the handle over time.

      How should I sharpen this knife?

      You can use a whetstone, honing rod, or professional sharpener. Regular honing maintains the edge, while sharpening restores it when dull.

      What’s the best way to store this knife?

      Store it in a knife block, magnetic strip, blade guard, or sheath to keep the edge protected and prevent accidents.
