A nakiri is a Japanese style knife used primarily for chopping vegetables. It is a thin blade that allows you to cut all the way through to the cutting board without having to us a horizontal push pull motion. The curved bolster provides a comfortable position for your thumb and forefinger to have the ultimate control. I love the perfectly balanced weight in each Pro series knife and the special steel is not only corrosion resistant but also retains its sharp edge longer and is chip and crack resistant.
I am growing fond of this Nakiri. I seem to grab it for all jobs in the kitchen. Made from German Special Formula Steel, also forged from one piece of steel its really durable, for a lifetime. Its also ice hardened so blade will stay sharper for a longer period of time. The blade is a little narrower than most Nakiri but that works to your benefit, you can almost use it as a chef knife and we know that knife does everything in a kitchen.
The Pro Nakiri knife is a great knife to have on hand for all kinds of chopping and even for the Western rocking motion. The Friodur process keeps the blade sharp and durable while also being stain-free and corrosion resistant. Made in Germany, so you know it has to be good!
The Nakiri is an Asian style blade designed to chop like a cleaver but with much less weight. Although it's perfectly designed for the chopping cutting motion, it is easy to rock as well. Extremely versatile; a favorite of my sons who love to cook.
Pro knives showcase the best innovation in kitchen knives, the curved bolster. The curved bolster allows you to grip the knife correctly with little thought. This pinch grip helps eliminate fatigue in your hand when cutting for long periods of time. They are forged from high carbon German steel in Germany. They will be extremely sharp, stay sharp, will be comfortable and durable. Guaranteed to last a lifetime.
A Nakiri is akin to the Chinese cleaver, but with a less broad blade. The Pro curved bolster makes for a smooth transition from handle to blade. Great balance, comfort, and excellent sharpness for precision cutting of vegetables.
Nakiri knives are like narrow vegetable cleavers. The Pro line of knives are made from premium German steel, ice-hardened for longer edge retention and corrosion resistance. The curved bolster really sets these knives apart from the competition. It makes the knife feel very comfortable in the hand when using the proper pinch grip and reduces wrist fatigue. Add all these attributes into a Japanese style knife and you have the perfect combination.
