Nakiri Knife

The nakiri (菜切り) knife is Japan's dedicated vegetable knife: flat-edged, double-beveled, and designed for the push-cutting technique used in Japanese home and professional cooking. Its straight edge makes full contact with the board on every stroke, producing clean, precise cuts through vegetables without tearing. Each nakiri in our collection is forged in Japan. If you cook vegetables daily and want a knife built specifically for that task, the nakiri is the answer.
