Nakiri: The Nakiri is a vegetable knife that is often found in Japanese households. With a flat blade, a straight cutting edge and a square tip, it is ideal for the precise processing of vegetables. Thanks to the special shape and the straight cutting edge, the vegetables always remain cleanly separated after cutting without sticking together.
The name “Nakiri” means “leaf cutter”, which perfectly reflects the function of the knife. It is the ideal choice for anyone who wants to chop vegetables efficiently and neatly.
