Nakiri is a Japanese word that means “leaf cutter”. Traditionally, Nakiri knives were used to finely slice vegetables, but they are useful for creating clean cuts of root vegetables and precisely cutting delicate vegetables that might be squished under a heavier blade. Many professional chefs favor our Nakiri knives over a traditional Western knife because the knife is lighter and the blade is thinner, allowing for precise and smooth cuts.
Our Nakiri kitchen knife has a comfortable wooden handle that will last years of service. The plastic bolster (cuff that covers where the blade and handle join) works as a grip, and offers control over slicing and chopping motions.
This Japanese inspired kitchen knife is perfect for lovers of Asian cuisine, and is made of the highest quality Japanese High-Carbon Stainless Steel, which is easily sharpened and resists dullness. Our Nakiri knives are Molybdenum Rust-Resistant, Razor Sharp Edge, Easy to Sharpen.
