Nakiri Knife

Nakiri Knife

From Samurai to Kitchen. The Nakiri is a Japanese-style vegetable knife built around a broad, predominantly straight cutting edge for clean, controlled preparation.

Design

“Nakiri” translates to “vegetable cutter.” The form became a household kitchen essential in Japan and is distinguished by its broad blade, squared profile and largely straight cutting edge.

Cutting Character

The straight edge supports a downward cutting motion in which much of the cutting edge contacts the board at once. The broad blade also provides useful knuckle clearance and helps with handling prepared ingredients.

Intended Use

Optimized for vegetables and herbs and also suitable for soft ingredients such as fruit, tofu and appropriately sized boneless meat. The Nakiri is intended for controlled slicing and chopping rather than heavy bone work.
