What is a Nakiri Knife?

The Nakiri is a traditional Japanese knife designed specifically for vegetables. Its name translates to "leaf cutter." It features a straight, symmetrical blade edge that allows the user to chop in a straight up-and-down motion without needing to rock the knife. This technique is fast, efficient, and ideal for creating clean, consistent cuts through all types of vegetables.

Use & Care
  • Knife care guide: Cleaning, sharpening and storing your Japanese knives.
  • Cutting board guide: Caring for your Japanese rubber cutting board.
  • Knives: Hand wash and dry immediately after use — never the dishwasher. It's the single biggest thing you can do for the blade and handle.
  • Sharpening: A whetstone keeps Japanese knives at their best — honing rods designed for Western knives can be too harsh for harder Japanese steel.
  • Storage: Store knives in a block, on a magnetic strip or with blade guards — loose in a drawer damages the edge.
Good to Know
  • Choosing a Hasegawa board: Which board suits your kitchen — our guide cuts through the confusion.
  • Gentle on blades: Japanese rubber boards are kind to knife edges — one reason chefs pair them with Japanese knives.
