NULU Knives for Comfortable, Versatile Kitchen Cutting
Traditional kitchen knives place the handle behind the blade, requiring the hand, wrist, arm, and shoulder to control force from a distance. For some cooks, that conventional design can make everyday food preparation uncomfortable or difficult. NULU knives take a different approach by positioning the handle directly above the cutting area for better control and more efficient force transfer.
The distinctive NULU knife combines an ergonomic handle, one continuous curved blade, three cutting areas, and four grip options. This adaptive design lets you slice, chop, rocker cut, mince, shave, julienne, and cleave using the grip and motion that feel most natural for the task.
Explore individual NULU knives, storage docks, cutting boards, sharpeners, and money-saving bundles at DDR BBQ Supply. Whether you want a versatile everyday kitchen knife or a more comfortable food-preparation solution, the NULU collection gives you multiple ways to build the right setup.

What Makes the NULU Knife Different?
The defining feature of the NULU knife is its direct force transfer geometry. Instead of extending the blade forward from a traditional handle, NULU positions the handle over the cutting arc. This alignment transfers pressure more directly through the hand and arm while supporting a more neutral working position.
The continuous curved blade incorporates three functional cutting areas and provides 160 degrees of cutting performance. Different sections of the blade can be used for controlled slicing, chopping, rocker cutting, mincing, shaving, julienning, and cleaving.
NULU does not force every cutting task into the same grip or motion. Its Fore Grip, Chopping Grip, Mincing Grip, and Axe Grip give cooks several ways to hold and control the knife. The best grip depends on what you are cutting and what feels most comfortable to you.

Choose the Right NULU Product
Start with The NULU Knife with Sheath if you want the core ergonomic knife and protected storage without additional countertop accessories. The included sheath covers the cutting edge when the knife is not being used.
Choose a knife-and-dock bundle if you want the knife stored upright and within easy reach on your countertop. The NULU Dock provides an attractive storage option with protective blade guards and access for right- or left-handed users.
A knife-and-board bundle adds the NULU Signature Cutting Board, which provides two usable cutting surfaces, non-slip feet, an easy-grip handle, and an integrated mincing bowl. The knife, dock, and board bundle combines the primary NULU products into one coordinated preparation and storage setup.
For routine blade maintenance, select a bundle that includes the NULU Adjustable Sharpener. This makes it easier to keep the knife and its sharpening solution together from the beginning.
Pro Tips
- Experiment with all four grip positions to determine which feels most natural for each task
- Use a rocking motion when mincing herbs, garlic, onions, or other small ingredients
- Use the Fore Grip for many general slicing and rocker-cutting tasks
- Try the Chopping Grip for chopping, dicing, or working through firmer ingredients
- Use the Axe Grip for cleaving, shaving, and breaking down larger ingredients
- Keep the knife clean, dry, and protected in its sheath or compatible NULU Dock
- Maintain a sharp edge because a properly sharpened knife requires less force and provides better control
- Hand wash and dry the knife promptly instead of leaving it wet or soaking it
