Know before you buy
A Nakiri knife is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife designed specifically for chopping, dicing, and slicing produce. Its straight, flat blade edge allows for clean, vertical cuts through vegetables without the need for a rocking motion.
The seamless stainless steel handle is designed for optimal balance and hygiene. While it provides a sleek, professional feel, it is textured to ensure a secure grip even during repetitive chopping tasks.
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the razor-sharp edge and the integrity of the stainless steel, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and drying it immediately after use.
Unlike a chef's knife, which has a curved tip for rocking, the Nakiri features a squared-off tip and a flat profile. This makes it significantly more efficient for high-volume vegetable preparation and precise, straight-down chopping.
The 7-inch length is the standard size for a Nakiri, offering enough surface area to handle large vegetables like cabbage or squash while remaining nimble enough for smaller tasks like mincing herbs or dicing onions.
