Collection: Nakiri / Cleaver

Nakiri knives are traditional Japanese vegetable knives designed for precise, clean cuts through produce, making them a kitchen favorite for chopping non- meat foods. Literally translating to "leaf cutter" these straight edged blades excel at push-cutting and creating uniform pieces, thanks to their thin sharp geometry and flat profile. This section also includes cleavers, both of which are the best Japanese knives when chopping through mounds of vegetable prep.
