Know before you buy
The Nakiri features a straight, flat blade profile that allows for clean, vertical cuts all the way through to the cutting board. This design is specifically optimized for chopping vegetables efficiently without the need for a rocking motion.
The hollow ground edge creates small air pockets between the blade and the food. This significantly reduces friction and prevents thin slices of vegetables from sticking to the side of the knife while you work.
While the high-carbon steel is durable, this knife is designed for precision vegetable prep. It is best suited for slicing, dicing, and chopping produce rather than hacking through dense, hard-skinned items.
To prevent corrosion and maintain the edge, hand wash the knife with mild soap and dry it immediately after use. Avoid putting it in the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage both the blade and the handle.
Yes, the ergonomic polypropylene handle is designed for a secure, non-slip grip, even when your hands are damp. It is a practical choice for professional kitchens where comfort and safety during extended use are priorities.
