The Japanese Vegetable Knife
The nakiri knife is a flat-bladed Japanese kitchen knife built specifically for vegetable prep. Its squared-off tip and tall blade make the nakiri a favourite among cooks who want clean, precise cuts through everything from onions to leafy herbs. Unlike the santoku or chef knife, the nakiri uses a straight up-and-down push cut rather than a rocking motion. XinZuo nakiri knives feature 67-layer Damascus steel forged in Yangjiang, delivering the thin, hard edge that vegetable work demands. For home cooks who do serious vegetable prep, a dedicated nakiri knife outperforms any all-purpose blade.
