Usually underutilized in the western kitchen, a Nakiri knife is used primarily for chopping, slicing, and mincing vegetables. Their straight blade edge is perfect for cutting long veggies in a single chop. Also, the added weight of the blade allows it to fall through food more easily while you chop.

Nakiri is considered to be a useful knife to cut without splitting or cracking relatively hard vegetables. Usually used as a vegetable chopping knife, Nakiri knife is very popular among vegetarians.

The Serbian Knife

The Serbian Knife is the ultimate blade for rugged performance and serious cutting power. Designed for chefs and cooks who demand strength, control, and versatility, this hand-forged knife delivers unmatched chopping capability — perfect for breaking down large cuts of meat, slicing through thick bones, or even handling tough vegetables with ease.

With its wide, heavy blade, the Serbian Knife provides natural weight-assisted force for clean, powerful cuts, while maintaining balance for precision work. Its full tang construction ensures durability and stability, and the Pakkawood handle with rivet fixings offers a secure, comfortable grip even during extended use.

Crafted from high carbon steel, this blade holds an incredibly sharp edge and offers excellent edge retention. However, it is not rust-resistant, making it best suited for experienced users who understand proper knife maintenance. Always dry and oil the blade after each use to prevent oxidation and preserve its performance.

Whether in the kitchen or outdoors, this knife excels as a versatile powerhouse — strong enough for heavy chopping, yet refined enough for controlled slicing and precision work.

Specifications

• Blade Length: 7 in

• Handle Length: 4.7 in

• Blade Width: 4 in

• Overall Length: 11.7 in

• Weight: 300 g

• Material: Hand-Forged High Carbon Steel

• Handle: Full Tang Steel with Pakkawood & Rivet Fixings

Important Note

This knife is not rust resistant due to its high carbon steel composition. It requires proper care and maintenance — including immediate drying after washing — to prevent corrosion. Recommended for experienced users familiar with maintaining traditional high carbon steel forged blades.
