About the Nakiri Knife:

The Nakiri knife is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife, widely recognized for its straight, flat blade design.

Primarily used for chopping, slicing, and dicing vegetables, it excels at producing clean, precise cuts.

Its thin, lightweight blade allows for delicate cuts of vegetables and fruits without crushing or damaging the fibers.

The blade’s straight edge is ideal for repetitive chopping motions, making food preparation efficient and smooth.

While mainly intended for vegetables, the Nakiri is also versatile enough to handle soft fruits, thin slicing of meats like chicken, and light fish preparation.

Its ease of use and precision make it a popular choice in both home kitchens and professional settings.
