Designed to handle a full range of vegetables, the nakiri knife has a large, square blade with a straight cutting edge. The versatile knife can be used for push cuts as well as rocking cuts, and its straight blade makes it an excellent choice for slicing and dicing a wide range of ingredients. Equipped with a comfortable D-shaped handle, the razor-sharp knife showcases a stain-resistant Damascus steel "rippled" finish achieved by forging 34 layers of steel on each side of the blade.
