The Nakiri is the traditional Japanese vegetable knife. The straight blade makes it ideal for precise work such as julienne, as well as fine slicing and dicing. The deep blade also means it is the perfect tool for slicing through harder, bigger root vegetables like squash.

Our knives are made in Japan — authentic craftsmanship & heritage. Not to be confused with cheaper "Japanese-style" knives... Learn more
