The Perfect All-Purpose Japanese Knife

Nagomi knives have been my favorite ever since I started using them in 2021. Their perfect balance, razor-sharp edge, and beautiful craftsmanship won me over for life! I even visited their factory in Seki, Gifu Prefecture—a city with a rich tradition of Japanese knife-making to observe their craftsmen making the knives. Let me share why I’m obsessed with their knives:

1. Comfortable, balanced handle

I never realized how much a good handle could change the way I cook until I tried Nagomi. Their handles are:

  • made from smooth, durable layered wood with a stainless steel inlay
  • shaped to fit comfortably in your hand for a secure grip 
  • perfectly balanced for control when prepping ingredients 

2. Lightweight and versatile

Product image - Nami’s Pick

Like most Japanese knives, Nagomi knives have a thinner blade than Western knives. With less steel, it’s lighter—making a big difference when you cook for hours. My hand never gets tired using them.

I especially love the santoku size. It’s shorter than a chef’s knife, so it feels more agile and versatile for peeling, mincing, and chopping. For everyday home cooking, it’s my top pick for an all-purpose knife.

3. Stainless steel for easy care

See the beautiful wavy pattern on the blade? That’s layered Damascus steel—a centuries-old technique once used to forge samurai swords.

For a Nagomi knife, it means:

  • The stainless steel blade is exceptionally hard
  • It stays razor-sharp for a long time
  • It resists rust and corrosion unlike carbon steel

It’s built to last and such a joy to use, making it a smart addition to any kitchen. If you try the Nagomi santoku knife, I think it might become your favorite, too!
