What is a Nakiri Knife?

Nakiri means "cutting vegetables" in Japanese. As the name suggests, a nakiri knife is a traditional Japanese knife most suitable for cutting vegetables. With no gap between the blade and the cutting board, it can cut food evenly from heel to tip, making chopping vegetables both simple and clean. Nakiri knives have a blade length between 160-180mm.
