Japanese Knife

Japanese knives have deep roots in Japanfs culinary and cultural history. The earliest cooking blades can be traced back to ancient times, with examples preserved in the Shosoin treasure house from the Nara and Heian periods. By the Heian period, dedicated kitchen knives were being made, reflecting the growing importance of food preparation in court life. Over time, sword making techniques evolved into knife making, giving rise to tools designed for precision and balance. Each knife is crafted for a specific purpose, from filleting fish to slicing vegetables, embodying centuries of refinement and craftsmanship admired around the world.

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!
