Set of 3 Vintage Traditional Japanese Nakiri Knives – Signed Blades

Sakai Naosuke / Nihonbashi Kiya (Aogami Warikomi Stainless) / Sakai Naojirō

Offered here is a distinctive set of three vintage traditional Japanese Nakiri (vegetable) knives, each bearing an authentic signature from respected makers and brands associated with historic Japanese cutlery centers.

Nakiri knives are double-bevel vegetable knives designed for precision straight cuts, widely used in traditional Japanese cuisine.

1. Sakai Naosuke (堺直助)

The blade is signed “Sakai Naosuke.”
The handle bears a branded stamp “堺直助” and retains its original certification label reading:

“Sakai – Excellent Sharpness – Recommended by the Sakai Cutlery Cooperative Association.”

This knife represents the Sakai tradition—Japan’s most renowned knife-making region with centuries of blade craftsmanship heritage.

Approximate blade length: 17–18 cm
Overall length: approx. 31–32 cm

2. Nihonbashi Kiya (日本橋木屋)

A knife from the prestigious Tokyo-based cutlery house Nihonbashi Kiya.

The reverse side is marked:

This indicates a laminated construction with high-carbon Aogami core steel clad in stainless steel for improved corrosion resistance—an excellent combination of edge retention and practicality.

Approximate blade length: 16.5–17.5 cm
Overall length: approx. 30–31 cm

3. Sakai Naojirō (堺直次郎)

Signed “Sakai Naojirō.”
