Hitohira Tanaka Kyuzo | 180mm Nakiri Knife (Blue #1) - Kaku

$672 Sale Save

or 4 payments of $168 AUD w/ Afterpay

This knife is a special design ordered from Tanaka, with an amazing grind carried out by Kyuzo. Taller and flatter in profile it is thin behind the edge and (unsurprisingly) cuts extremely well. Some care is required to prevent chipping, especially of the tip.

Japanese Kitchen Knife | Nakiri (Vegetable Knife)

Nakiri knives are a specialist Japanese vegetable cutting knife that can also be used as your primary kitchen knife, depending on your cutting style.
Nakiri knives have a flat profile and tall blade height which aids in push chopping but does make rock style cutting a little uncomfortable. The Nakiri, like many western style chef knives has a double bevel grind, in contrast to the Japanese style vegetable knife, the Usuba, which is single bevel. Whilst a Gyuto or Santoku does do a good job at cutting vegetables, the larger flat bottom of a Nakiri or Usuba make the task much easier. The Nakiri is one of our favourite profiles, highly recommended.
