Nakiri Knife 16.5 cm - Classic Hashi Collection

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

Shorter than a cleaver and of similar length, the Nakiri is ideal for cutting vegetables quickly and safely. Its wide blade is practical for transferring chopped vegetables from the chopping board to the pan.

Sometimes spelled Nagiri, the Nakiri has a flat-profile blade designed for push or glide cutting, rather than chopping with a rocking motion.
