xDalstrong Nakiri Knife 7" Gladiator Series: Precision for Vegetables
The Dalstrong Nakiri is a purpose-built 7-inch vegetable knife designed to bring clean, even slices to your kitchen prep. This Gladiator Series model combines a robust high-carbon German steel blade with a striking satin finish and a bold crimson red ABS handle. The result is a knife that feels balanced in the hand and ready to glide through vegetables with controlled power. Whether you’re dicing, mincing, or slicing thin ribbons, the blade’s geometry and finish work together to deliver consistent results in a range of daily tasks.
The knife’s design emphasizes performance without sacrificing comfort. The full-tang construction and hand-polished edge yield a blade that feels steady and reliable during long prep sessions. With a bevel tuned to approximately 16–18 degrees per side, the edge is sharp enough for precise cuts while maintaining resilience against routine use in a busy kitchen. The steel’s inherent stain resistance helps keep the blade looking and performing well through frequent use, and the satin finish reduces glare while aiding cleanup.
