At Kitchen Knives, we understand the importance of having specialized tools for efficient vegetable cutting. Our nakiri knives are designed with precision and versatility, ensuring you have the perfect blade for all your plant-based culinary creations. Here's what sets our nakiri knives apart:
The distinctive rectangular blade shape allows for a straight up-and-down chopping motion, making it ideal for dicing lots of vegetables quickly.
The thin blade excels at creating paper-thin slices, perfect for salads and garnishes. Unlike Western-style knives, the flat edge of the nakiri ensures full contact with chopping boards, resulting in clean, complete cuts every time.

Nakiri knives are ideal accessories for professional cooks and novices alike, especially if you love to create vegetable-centric meals. And Kitchen Knives’ extensive range has the perfect nakiri to enhance your culinary skills and reduce food preparation time.
A nakiri has a straight, rectangular blade designed specifically for vegetable prep, while a chef's knife has a curved edge for a rocking motion and is more versatile for general kitchen tasks.
While nakiri knives are designed primarily for vegetables, they can also be used to slice boneless meats. However, they're not suitable for tasks like breaking down poultry or cutting through bones.
Use a whetstone to maintain your nakiri's edge. The nakiri’s straight blade makes it easier to sharpen than curved knives. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for best results.
Most nakiri knives have blades ranging from 5 to 7 inches. A 6-inch nakiri is versatile for most home cooks, while professionals might prefer a slightly longer blade.
Hand wash your nakiri with mild soap and warm water, drying it immediately. Once dry, store it in a knife block or on a magnetic knife rack. Never put your knives in the dishwasher, and don't leave your nakiri soaking in water.
While not designed as a peeler, a sharp nakiri can be used to remove thin skins from vegetables like cucumbers or courgettes. However, a proper peeler is still recommended for thick-skinned vegetables.
At Kitchen Knives, we offer a variety of high-quality nakiri knives. Explore our selection of top brands, including Kai Shun, Global, and Miyabi, to find the perfect nakiri for your kitchen.
