Nakiri is simply Japanese for "vegetable knife." Once you get the Shun Classic Nakiri in your hands, youll soon see why both professional chefs and good cooks around the world choose this beautiful and extremely useful tool whenever they have fruits or vegetables to prepare. With its straight blade, edge, and spine, the nakiri isnt rocked like a chefs knife. Instead, use a simple push cut and enjoy the clean, swift work it makes of vegetables of all kinds. For daily salad preparation or slicing vegetables for stir-fry, it cant be beat. Finely dicing onions is fast, easy, and with the Shun Classic Nakiris blunt end, safer, too.
