Nakiri knife 16 cm - Hashi Damascus Collection

The name Nakiri means "leaf cutter" (菜切り包丁) in Japanese, and it was designed specifically for cutting vegetables and fruits.

Shorter than a chopper and of a similar length, the Nakiri is ideal for cutting vegetables quickly and safely. Its wide blade is practical for scooping cut vegetables from the cutting board to the pan.

Sometimes spelled Nagiri, the Nakiri has a flat profile blade designed for pushing or sliding cutting, rather than slicing with a rocking motion.
