Why Choose a Nakiri Knife?

The Nakiri (菜切り) is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife featuring a double-beveled, straight-edged blade — ideal for push-cuts and pull-cuts alike. Unlike a Western chef's knife, its flat profile means the entire blade makes contact with the board on every stroke, producing cleaner slices and more uniform cuts. If you work with a lot of plant-based ingredients, the Nakiri is simply the most efficient blade in the kitchen.
