Collection: Nakiri Japanese Vegetable Knives

The nakiri is Japan's dedicated vegetable knife - a double-bevelled, flat-edged blade designed for clean, push-cut chopping through vegetables without the rocking motion of a Western knife. Its rectangular profile and blunt tip make it safe, precise, and satisfying to use for prep-heavy cooking.

At Chef & a Knife, we stock nakiri from Japan's finest makers - from entry-level workhorses to hand-forged single-piece blades from Sakai's master smiths.
