Katto Katto
Katto Nakiri knife with walnut wood handle, held at an angle

Nakiri Knives

Smaller than a chefs knife but bigger than a santoku, the flat end of the Nakiri makes it perfect for slicing and chopping vegetables and meats. Each one is handmade in our Sheffield workshop and features our award-winning Equipoise™ weighted handle.

This knife is smooth and comfortable to hold and maintains a great element of agility for fast or slow chopping. Great knife to handle as well as look at.

Katto Nakiri

The quality, manufacture and sharpness go without saying. Most knife manufacturers talk about balance but I have never used anything this good. The balance of this knife is by far the best I have ever used. It is brilliant!

Fabulous Piece Of Craftsmanship

I’ve pondered long and hard about this purchase. I’m a keen home cook with no aspirations to go ‘above and beyond’ this level, but I do love to use beautiful implements, and am prepared to invest in craftsmanship.

My Henkel knives are perfectly adept at their job….but there’s no ‘soul’. When my Katto arrived, so did the soul.

The construction is superb; every detail has been looked after. The balance and weight are exactly as I’d hoped for, and the marking on the blade is truly unique.

I’d looked at a number of knives for this purchase, and I’m sure the alternatives would have been fabulous, but the Katto nakiri I bought exceeded my expectations.

So much so, am currently eyeing up a pizza cutter, a Santoku and a utility knife…..Mrs B is NOT happy….but I am.
