Nakiri meaning “vegetable knife” in its original Japanese name, it is specifically for cutting vegetables. It is suitable for chopping and dicing ingredients because there is no tip and the blade is straight. Historically, it has been used on a daily basis by general population as it was designated as the easy-to-use knife for everyone. The blade has no curvature and the straight blade is easy to sharpen and handle. Unless the person is familiar, it is often hard to cleanly sharpen a knife with curves; however, there is no worry with this type of vegetable knives.
What a beautiful knife. The hammered pattern on the blade is not only beautiful, it helps release food when chopping. The knife is very well crafted. It’s extremely sharp and well balanced. Craftsmanship, features and eye catching good looks make this knife a great buy for the price point.
Amazing looking knife (true to the picture), you will not be disappointed! Very good quality build and definitely up to the task of being used as your main chef's knife! Shipped and arrived very quickly as well.
I got this for my boyfriend’s dad as a gift. I had to open it and see the item first. It was packaged well, and they even wrapped up the box of the knife as well with a cute bow! The package even had a vanilla scent to it which I enjoyed. Opening up the box, inside it was packaged neatly and seeing the knife, it was even more stunning than the pictures. From the handle to the actual blade it self - gorgeous. Definitely an unforgettable shopping experience. If I ever need something of this sort again, would 100% purchase from here again.
Very impressed with the packaging and just the all around beauty of this knife. I bought it as a gift and he loved it. I will definitely be buying more from Ginza Steel.
