Nakiri Knives

The Nakiri knife is a Japanese knife whose name literally means knife for cutting greens. This wonderful invention originated as early as the 17th century and is still used today for precision cutting in many Japanese and European kitchens. Thanks to its characteristic rectangular shape with no tip or cutting edge, it will quickly and accurately cut herbs and vegetables into strips such as julienne and more.
