K17 Minarai Nakiri

Meaning "vegetable cutter," the Nakiri's unique rectangular shape and slightly upturned edge make it the perfect tool for precisely push-cutting all kinds of vegetables. The knife's blade shape also allows its length to remain consistent after years of sharpening.[1]

The K17 is originally made in Seki City, Japan, and:

  • features a modified Sheepsfoot Blade shape
  • features a black Polypropylene handle
  • as one of few exceptions in Spyderco's line-up, it does not feature Spyderco's trademark round hole
