Ryutoku Traditional Japanese Nakiri Knife – 6.3 in Rectangular Double-Bevel Stainless Steel Blade
Recognizable by its rectangular blade and rounded tip, the Nakiri is the traditional vegetable knife used in Japanese kitchens. Its perfectly straight edge makes contact with the cutting board along its entire length in a single vertical stroke, producing clean slices without the rocking motion typical of Western knives. Its stainless steel blade is sharpened on both sides, unlike many traditional Japanese single-edged knives, making it suitable for both right- and left-handed use. With its octagonal honoki wood handle, this Nakiri quickly becomes your everyday go-to for mincing, chopping, and slicing vegetables and fresh herbs.
