Nakiri - Chef Knives


Nakiri are vegetable knives used in Japan since old times. Their broad, quadrilateral double-bevel blade is perfect for cutting large and thick vegetables with precision and stability.

Easy to use for right and left-handed people, Nakiri knives' durability makes them suitable for peeling hard root vegetables such as daikon radish.

Unlike other kitchen knives with gently curved blades, nakiri blades are straight. Typically, Japanese knives are designed to cut by pulling. However, nakiri knives are designed to cut vertically, just like a Chinese cleaver knife.
