Cangshan Helena Series 7" Nakiri Knife 502520

Cut with confidence and precision using the Cangshan Helena Series 7" Nakiri Knife—an elegantly refined tool engineered for power and performance in the modern kitchen. Inspired by Japanese knife design and forged with German steel, this knife blends Eastern blade geometry with Western durability, making it an exceptional choice for serious home cooks and professionals alike.

At the core of the Helena Nakiri is a 7" blade crafted from high-alloy German X50CrMoV15 stainless steel. Forged for strength and sharpened to a fine 16-degree angle, this blade is built to glide through vegetables with ease. Its flat edge profile and squared tip make it especially effective for chopping, dicing, and push-cutting tasks on a cutting board. Whether you're breaking down a pile of cabbage or working through fresh herbs, the Nakiri delivers clean, controlled cuts every time.

Cangshan’s ULTRA6 heat treatment process ensures a Rockwell hardness rating of 58 ±2, giving this knife the edge retention and toughness needed for daily prep work. The full tang construction provides stability and strength throughout the blade, ensuring consistent performance and balance during use.

The handle is made from durable black POM (polyoxymethylene), chosen for its resistance to moisture, temperature changes, and long-term wear. Ergonomically contoured for a natural, fatigue-free grip, the handle is fastened with two stainless steel rivets that provide a clean, secure finish. A slim, semi-bolster adds to the knife’s balanced feel without interfering with sharpening or cutting edge access.

The Helena Nakiri is all about minimalist performance—no bulk, no gimmicks, just smooth lines, precision steel, and a tool that feels like an extension of your hand. Every element of the knife is carefully considered, from the materials and craftsmanship to the comfort and control in the kitchen. Order it today from SMKW!
