Nakiri knives: what use in the kitchen?

The Japanese chef likes to use a knife adapted to each preparation. This ultra-specialization of the tool allows precise and fast work. The Nakiri knife was created with the sole objective of cutting vegetables. All the details of its design contribute to its remarkable efficiency.

The Nakiri knife: the art of slicing, chopping and cutting vegetables and herbs

Nakiri knives have a rectangular, wide and high blade. The cutting edge is straight and parallel to the back of the blade. It is slightly rounded at its end. This unique blade shape allows for fast and precise vertical cutting. The blade passes through the vegetable without breaking it. Your slices are thin and regular. The blade height prevents the handle or hand from hitting the cutting table.

The Japanese art of cutting follows a forward and backward movement to slice a vegetable. With the Nakiri knife, this technique allows for a clean cut, without an accordion. This push and pull movement is possible thanks to the exceptional sharpness of the blade. Its sharpening on each side is essential here. The rounding at the end of the cutting edge prevents it from hitting and pricking the kitchen table. Using a Nakiri knife means gaining in fluidity and efficiency.

Which Nakiri knife should you choose to excel in the kitchen?

To enjoy the unique experience of using a Nakiri knife, be demanding about the quality of its blade and its handling. A low price should alert you to industrial manufacturing. The price of a craft knife is justified by the type of steel chosen for the blade and the work of the handle.

The blade of a Japanese knife is made from carbon steel or stainless steel. The first contributes to the excellent sharpness of the blade. Stainless steel, on the other hand, is known for its anti-corrosion properties. Maison Damas has chosen a blade that combines hardness, efficiency and longevity. On the one hand, we use layered Damascus steel for a clean and precise cutting quality. And on the other hand, the blade has a VG10 stainless steel core to reinforce the durability of the knife.

To cut your vegetables quickly and carefully, pay attention to the grip of your Nakiri knife. It must be both firm and comfortable. The length of the handle and its ergonomics must allow you to use Nakiri knives whatever the kitchen cut. You must be able to position your hand on the handle forward or backward to cut or chop while preserving the balance of the knife.
