Collection: Nakiri Knives

Originating in Japan, Nakiri knives are also often referred to as Japanese vegetable knives due to their main intended use. These knives not only look great but are also very useful. The Nakiri blade is somewhat similar to a cleaver, it is rectangular and quite thin, sharpened from both sides and its very tip is slightly rounded at the base, making it, as the name suggests, an ideal choice for slicing vegetables, chopping herbs, peeling, etc. It is these knives that chefs most often use when preparing sumptuous plates full of decoratively carved vegetables and fruits.
