Nakiri Knives

What is a Japanese Nakiri Knife?

The Nakiri knife is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife known for its tall, flat blade and razor-thin edge. Unlike Western chef knives, the Nakiri is designed specifically for push-cutting and chopping vegetables, ensuring clean, even slices without rocking. Its straight edge excels at dicing, julienning, and preparing delicate produce like herbs, cucumbers, and leafy greens with precision.
