Nakiri knives

Nakiri knives are Japanese-style vegetable knives built for fast, clean prep. With a tall blade and a straight edge, a nakiri excels at push-cut chopping and smooth slicing through vegetables, herbs, and fruit—great for high-volume prep and tidy, uniform cuts. The flat edge makes full contact with the cutting board, while the blade height adds knuckle clearance and helps scoop ingredients from board to pan. Choose a blade length that fits your board and hand size, and pair it with a stable cutting board for comfortable, controlled daily cooking.
