History and Use of the Nakiri Knife

The name nakiri (菜切り) literally translates to "vegetable cutter." This type was the original favorite of traditional Japanese households, being standard kitchen equipment even before the appearance of modern hybrid knives.

Its uniqueness lies in the squared tip and the straight edge. Unlike chef's knives, the Nakiri's edge is almost completely parallel to the cutting board, allowing for a single firm, vertical movement to perfectly cut through fibers without damaging the vegetables. Its wide blade not only helps with stable guidance against the knuckles but also serves as a shovel for lifting chopped ingredients into containers.
