Nakiri Knives

Effortless Precision for Vegetable Preparation

The Nakiri knife is a staple in Japanese kitchens, designed specifically for slicing, dicing, and chopping vegetables with precision and ease. Featuring a straight blade edge and rectangular shape, the Nakiri knife excels at creating uniform cuts, whether you're preparing delicate herbs, dense root vegetables, or anything in between. Its unique design ensures smooth, efficient cutting motions without rocking the blade, making it a favorite for both professional chefs and home cooks.
