This characteristic Japanese rectangular blade shape is ideal for vegetables and has gained the Nakiri quite a cult following. Its thin blade slices easily and its large surface can be used to scoop up food and carry it around. We've added a little curve to allow some “rock-chopping” as well as up/down chopping and the rounded corner prevents it catching on the board.
