A nakiri is a Japanese-style vegetable knife. Once you get the Shun Classic Nakiri in your hands, you will see why both professional chefs and good cooks around the world choose this beautiful and extremely useful tool whenever they have fruits or vegetables to prepare. With its straight blade, edge, and spine, the nakiri is used with a simple push cut. You will love the clean, swift work it makes of vegetables of all kinds. For daily salad preparation or slicing vegetables for stir-fry, it cannot be beat. Finely dicing onions is fast, easy, and with the Shun Classic Nakiri's blunt end, safer, too. The Nakiri's blunt tip makes for safer cutting.

Shun's Classic series features beautiful Damascus-clad blades with a cutting core of Shun’s proprietary VG-MAX stainless steel and D-shaped PakkaWood handles.
This smaller weight and size make it perfect for small to medium-sized kitchen tasks, from slicing carrots and shallots to mincing herbs to cutting chocolate or butter. Cooks with smaller hands or those who simply prefer a smaller, lighter knife may find that this smaller nakiri becomes a top go-to knife. Some cooks use it in place of a chef's or paring knife for some tasks.

Swift, sharp and clean, the Classic Nakiri is great for kitchen needs like julienning carrots, slicing tomatoes, dicing onions, chopping peppers, peeling potatoes, trimming celery or paring avocados
Whether it’s needed for daily salad preparation or gourmet vegetable creations, both restaurant chefs and new home cooks trust the simple push cut of the Nakiri’s straight, razor-sharp edge.Hand wash with gentle dish soap
