Matsu Nakiri Knife

To use this nakiri knife, you will need to start by holding the handle firmly with your right hand (or left if you are left-handed). It is important to maintain a firm and stable grip to maximize precision and control when cutting. Place the tip of the blade on top of the vegetable you wish to cut. Use a back and forth motion to cut the vegetable into thin, even slices. Also use the back edge of the blade to crush or mince softer vegetables. It is important to maintain a proper blade angle to avoid cutting too deep into the vegetable and damaging the countertop. Finally, proper maintenance of your nakiri knife is necessary by cleaning and sharpening it regularly to ensure a clean and precise cut.
