Kessaku 7-Inch Nakiri Cleaver

The Kessaku KES13072 is a 7-inch Nakiri vegetable cleaver built for precise push-cut work. Its blade uses ThyssenKrupp German 1.4116 stainless steel hardened to 58 HRC. The edge is hand-sharpened to 16 degrees per side using the Honbazuke method. A G10 handle and matching blade guard complete the tool.

Best for vegetable prep specialists

Cooks who focus on high-volume vegetable slicing will value the flat profile and acute edge angle. The full-tang construction and triple rivets suit heavy daily use. Buyers who need a curved belly for rocking cuts or a pointed tip for detail work should choose a different knife shape.

1.4116 steel at 58 HRC

The German 1.4116 stainless steel heat-treated to 58 Rockwell hardness defines edge retention and corrosion resistance. Nitrogen cooling and the 16-degree Honbazuke grind support lasting sharpness. This combination determines whether the cleaver meets your durability and maintenance expectations.

Questions about this item

What handle material and rivet design does the KES13072 use for grip security?

The knife has a G10 glass-fibre resin handle with triple-rivet construction and a full tang for a secure, moisture-proof grip.

What sharpening angle should I maintain when honing the 16° per side edge?

Keep the stone at 16° on each side to match the Honbazuke hand-finished bevel and preserve the 58 HRC edge.

How should I clean and store the 1.4116 steel blade to prevent corrosion?

Hand-wash, dry immediately, and store in the supplied 7-inch guard; the nitrogen-cooled 1.4116 steel resists rust but is not dishwasher-safe.
