The Spyderco Minarai Nakiri Kitchen Knife Black (K17PBK)—often searched as CK17PBK—is a high-performance kitchen knife designed in collaboration with master bladesmith Murray Carter. Built for precision vegetable preparation, it features a 7.25-inch satin-finished blade crafted from CTS BD1N stainless steel, delivering excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance for daily kitchen use.
The traditional Nakiri blade profile—with its straight edge and squared tip—is optimized for clean, efficient push-cutting, making it ideal for slicing, chopping, and dicing vegetables with precision. Its full-flat grind ensures smooth, low-resistance cutting performance, while maintaining consistent blade geometry even after repeated sharpening.
Designed for comfort and durability, the knife features a lightweight black polypropylene handle that offers a secure grip and excellent control during extended food prep sessions. With an overall length of approximately 12 inches and a well-balanced construction, it provides both reach and maneuverability in the kitchen.
