The nakiri knife enables the precise execution of various cutting techniques, such as julienne (matchstick-thin strips) or chiffonade (thinly shredded leafy greens).
The thin, rectangular blade shape guarantees even cutting, whilst the straight cutting edge is perfect for vertical cuts, which are essential for numerous kitchen tasks.

The nakiri knife (菜切), whose name literally means "vegetable cutter" in Japanese, dates back to the Edo period of the 17th century. Its characteristic feature is its straight blade, which is perfectly suited for the precise cutting of all kinds of vegetables. The thinner design of the blade allows for fine slicing without squashing the vegetables. The straight edge is ideal for push-cutting, a common technique in Japanese cuisine for achieving clean cuts. The popularity of nakiri knives grew during the Edo period, when the demand for specialised vegetable knives increased due to a greater focus on plant-based diets. The Satake Megumi Nakiri combines traditional Japanese form with modern materials, offering a reliable and efficient tool for vegetable enthusiasts.
