Nakiri (菜切) – The Japanese Vegetable Knife
Nakiri is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife characterized by its straight edge and rectangular blade shape. The name “Nakiri” means “leaf cutter,” reflecting its primary purpose of preparing vegetables.
Unlike Gyuto or Santoku knives, Nakiri features a flat edge profile that allows full contact with the cutting board, making it ideal for clean, efficient push-cutting. This design ensures precise cuts without rocking, which helps preserve the texture and structure of vegetables.
Nakiri knives are typically double-bevel and range from 165mm to 180mm in length. They are widely used in both home kitchens and professional settings where vegetable preparation is a primary focus.
For cooks who frequently prepare vegetables and prefer precise, straight cuts, Nakiri offers excellent control and efficiency.
VG10 is a high-carbon stainless steel developed in Japan and widely used in premium kitchen knives. It contains added cobalt, molybdenum, and vanadium to enhance hardness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. VG10 offers a refined grain structure and a balanced combination of sharpness, durability, and maintenance ease.
