Yuri Nakiri Japanese Kitchen Knife
A Nakiri knife is a Japanese style knife with a rectangular blade which is thin and broad, and has a straight edge, and a flat tip. The name "Nakiri" in Japanese literally means "leaf-cutter," and is common in Japanese households.
What's the Nakiri knife perfect for?
The Nakiri can cut through a variety of vegetables cleanly in a single downward motion.
It's your go-to for chopping, slicing, dicing and shredding vegetables. The Nakiri knife is most effective when performing an up-and-down chopping motion, thanks to its broad rectangular blade and straight, flat cutting edge. This technique ensures that the entire blade makes contact with the cutting board, resulting in consistently clean vegetable slices.
The tall blade gives your knuckles plenty of clearance, and you can even flip it over to use the spine for scraping ingredients without worrying about damaging the blade.
