The 6-inch Nakiri is designed specifically for vegetable prep, blending traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern performance. Its straight edge and flat blade profile make it perfect for push cuts, pull cuts, and precise, up-and-down chopping—ensuring full contact with the cutting board and eliminating the need for a rocking motion. The squared-off tip allows for quick, clean cuts and easy scooping of chopped ingredients, while the blade shape makes it ideal for transferring food from board to pan. Whether you're slicing cucumbers paper-thin, dicing onions, or shaving cabbage for slaw, the Nakiri offers unmatched speed, control, and finesse. A must-have for plant-forward cooks and anyone who values efficiency and accuracy in the kitchen. The Nakiri is crafted from AEB-L stainless steel and heat-treated followed by cryogenic treatment to 61 HRC. Designed and made in the USA!
