Japanese Hand-Forged Kitchen Knife Nakiri 170mm

The Nakiri is a traditional Japanese kitchen tool primarily used for cutting vegetables. It is a type of knife with a flat blade and straight profile, allowing for efficient and precise slicing of vegetables into pieces or thin slices. The word "Nakiri" in Japanese literally means "vegetable cutter."

This knife has a wide, rectangular blade, perfect for precise cutting through a simple, vertical motion. This design provides stability and control while cutting. The broad blade surface also makes it easy to transfer chopped vegetables from the board to a pot or pan.

The Nakiri is particularly popular in Japanese cuisine, where vegetables play a significant role in many dishes. However, due to its versatility and efficiency, it is also appreciated in other cuisines worldwide.

This kitchen accessory is an excellent choice for those who frequently prepare vegetable-based dishes. Thanks to its unique shape and sharp blade, cutting and slicing vegetables becomes easier, faster, more precise, and ultimately healthier, as vegetables retain valuable minerals without crushing the flesh.
