Daovua Pipeline Steel Tall Nakiri. As the saying goes, great oaks from little acorns grow. While not quite a great oak, the Daovua knife company has grown—from a fledgling enterprise located in Vietnam making knife and tool blades out of old car parts, to a thriving business that has spread into making some really great kitchen utensils at super attractive prices.
Their blades are fashioned from recycled pipeline steel from the oil and gas business. The Nhat family cuts the pipes apart and hammer forges knives out of them and the results are what you see here.
This knife is a classic nakiri in terms of shape and profile but with a much taller stance. It is almost a cross between a cleaver and nakiri except for the fact that it is very thin and made to cut vegetables of all kinds with ease. One outstanding attribute of these blades is how they take an incredibly sharp edge.
So for someone seeking a unique version of a nakiri, the Daovua Tall Nakiri is a perfect and high value choice. Please remember these are made under fairly rough conditions with recycled steel, so you should expect that they will have imperfections that you will not see in our other knives. But this should not dissuade anyone looking for a low priced kitchen knife that is exceedingly sharp and rather unique.Maker: Daovua

Have been using this tall nakiri for close to a year now. It's my workhorse at home and it gets brought out for just about everything. It came very sharp out of the box, the overall finish is rustic to say the least, but the blade was straight and it cuts well. The spine was a bit sharp so i ground that down to be more rounded and that's about where my modifications ended. I use a ceramic rod every so often but it keeps its edge very well. The shape is nice since I have larger hands, so i'm not hitting knuckles on the cutting board, and the height makes it handle more like a small chinese cleaver. This knife is comfortable to use for extended periods, prepping large amounts of veggies or deboned meat. I don't see this nakiri leaving my kitchen any time soon. It's a pleasure to use and I feel like every knife will have its own character, it's not going to win any beauty competitions but it's an excellent addition to any kitchen.
