The Nakiri is a traditional Japanese knife shape, and is a staple preparation tool of the heavily vegetable based cuisine eaten in Japanese homes. With its interesting shape, the Shun Kagerou Nakiri excels at precisely cutting vegetables with a long, flat belly profile making full contact with the cutting board. The Nakiri isn’t rocked like a chef’s knife. Instead, use a push cut by moving the knife down and forward while keeping the edge parallel to the cutting surface.
