NAKIRI knives

Key features of the Nakiri knife:

1. Straight blade - The Nakiri does not have the curvature of European chef's knives, making it the ideal tool for straight cuts. This means that the blade does not come into contact with the cutting board at an angle, making it easier to cut even harder vegetables.

2. Easy chopping and slicing - Nakiri is designed to make every movement of the knife efficient. There is no need to apply too much pressure when slicing, which reduces hand fatigue.

3. Blade length and width - Typically, the blade length is around 16-18 cm, which provides enough surface area to quickly process larger pieces of vegetables. The wider blade is also practical when transferring chopped ingredients from the cutting board to the pan.

4. Elegant design - Many Nakiri knives are made of quality steel with beautifully crafted handles made from traditional Japanese materials, which contributes not only to the aesthetics but also to a stable grip.

The Nakiri knife is popular among professional chefs and home enthusiasts for its reliability and precision in preparing vegetables.
