The Nakiri is another classic Japanese kitchen knife, this time designed for chopping, slicing and dicing vegetables. This Wusthof Classic 5-inch version has the advantage of a shorter blade, ideal for smaller hands or smaller prep work
Its finely honed cutting edge is forged from a single blank of high-carbon steel and allows for almost paper-thin slicing. Hollow edging along the blade creates tiny air pockets as vegetables are sliced, preventing the food from clinging to the knife.
