Nakiri 7” 18cm Aka Tori Tokyo Black with engraving
In European cuisine there is no direct equivalent of this knife. It can be compared to a small cleaver, but it is significantly lighter and more convenient. Originally used for chopping vegetables and herbs. But let’s be honest – if you need to cut eggs, cold cuts or soft cheese, you don’t need to switch knives. The 18 cm blade length is close to a chef’s knife and exactly the same as a standard Santoku. The cutting technique is also similar: mainly an up-and-down motion. The wide blade makes it easy to transfer chopped ingredients.
Natural handle and finish
In this line, part of the blade steel is left unpolished and finished in black. We combined this steel with a beautiful ebony handle set in buffalo horn. All handle materials are natural and not synthetic. This finish makes the knife comfortable to hold, and the hexagonal handle fits well in the hand.
Due to the unique structure of natural wood, the shade of the handle may vary slightly, giving each piece a unique character.

The Tokyo Black line knife is not the easiest to maintain, but there is nothing to worry about. You will not spend your life taking care of it. With a bit of effort, it will repay you with lifelong service. We offer a lifetime warranty. As a Polish brand, we design knives meant to be passed down. This knife will never let you down.
Elegant packaging – a ready premium gift
At Aka Tori, we know that luxury lies in details. Each knife is packed in an elegant premium gift box. The packaging combines minimalist design with Japanese aesthetics, making it an ideal premium gift for weddings, anniversaries, or birthdays.
Care instructions
Do not wash in a dishwasher. Do not leave in the sink with other dishes or utensils. (If you do it once or twice, nothing terrible will happen.) After use, wash under running water and dry the blade and handle with a cloth. Occasionally rub the handle with olive oil and wipe off the excess.
Blade angle is 15° per side. To maintain sharpness, sharpen manually using water stones. For everyday maintenance, a honing rod or ceramic rod can be used.
Traditional tsuchime technique
This technique is not exclusive to Japanese knives. It refers to hammer marks found in handmade vessels produced in India, China, Central Asia, Turkey, and Arab countries. In the past, smooth finishing was too time-consuming for simple tools like knives, so only part of the blade was polished. Hammering also improved hardness and durability. Today it is mainly decorative but also prevents food from sticking to the blade.
