This 6.3-inch (16 cm) nakiri knife is an ideal choice if you want to create thin and even slices. It allows you to easily chop ingredients for salads or wok dishes.
The nakiri knife enables the precise execution of various cutting techniques, such as julienne (matchstick-thin strips) or chiffonade (thinly sliced leafy greens).
The thin, rectangular blade shape guarantees even cutting, while the straight cutting edge is perfect for vertical cuts, which are essential for many kitchen tasks. The knife is easy and comfortable to use, so even prolonged work does not cause any problems.
The nakiri knife (菜切), whose name literally means "vegetable cutter" in Japanese, dates back to the Edo period in the 17th century. Its characteristic feature is its straight blade, which is perfectly suited for precisely cutting all kinds of vegetables. The thinner design of the blade allows for fine slicing without crushing the vegetables. The straight edge is ideal for push-cutting, a common technique in Japanese cuisine for achieving clean cuts. The Satake Nashiji Nakiri combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern needs, offering a reliable and versatile tool for your kitchen.
