  • Knife for vegetarian users

    The Nakiri knife is specially designed for vegetables, making it a safe choice with its square tip. Its flat blade and wide surface allow you to chop large quantities of herbs and greens at once. Plus, the thin blade prevents crushing, preserving the freshness and ensuring beautifully cut ingredients.
