NAKIRI ( 菜切)
The Nakiri knife is a traditional Japanese kitchen knife designed primarily for cutting vegetables. Thanks to its characteristic rectangular shape and straight blade, it allows easy and precise slicing from top to bottom without tearing or damaging the texture of the vegetables. This blade style is ideal for fast, smooth slicing with minimal effort, which you'll appreciate when preparing thin slices or finely chopping herbs, for example.
Key Features of the Nakiri Knife:
- Straight blade - The Nakiri doesn't have the curvature of European chef's knives, making it ideal for straight cuts. This means that the blade does not come into contact with the cutting board tilted, making it easier to cut even tougher vegetables.
- Easy chopping and slicing - Nakiri is designed to make every movement of the knife efficient. There is no need to exert too much pressure when slicing, reducing hand fatigue.
- Blade length and width - Typically, the blade length is around 16-18 cm, which provides enough surface area to process larger vegetables quickly. A wider blade is also practical when transferring chopped ingredients from the cutting board to the pan.
- Elegant design - Many Nakiri knives are made from high quality steel with beautifully crafted handles made from traditional Japanese materials, contributing not only to aesthetics but also to a stable grip.
The Nakiri knife is a favorite among professional chefs and home enthusiasts alike for its reliability and precision in preparing vegetables.
