Nakiri Knives Sharpening by Blade Medic

About Nakiri Knives

Nakiri knives are traditional Japanese vegetable knives, celebrated for their efficiency and precision in chopping vegetables. These knives feature a straight edge and a squared-off tip, making them ideal for creating clean, uniform cuts without the need for a rocking motion.

Design and Purpose

Nakiri knives are characterized by their:

  • Blade Length: Typically ranging from 5 to 7 inches.
  • Blade Shape: A flat edge with a rectangular blade, designed for efficient slicing and chopping of vegetables.
  • Handle: Designed for a comfortable and secure grip, often made from traditional Japanese materials such as wood.

This design makes the Nakiri knife ideal for preparing vegetables, ensuring each cut is clean and precise.

Typical Cutting Edge Angle

The cutting edge angle of a Nakiri knife is crucial for its vegetable-cutting capabilities. Most Nakiri knives have a blade edge angle between 12 and 15 degrees. This sharp angle provides the precision required for thin, clean slices and reduces the risk of crushing delicate vegetables.

Knife Type Edge Angle
Standard Nakiri Knife 15 degrees
Professional Nakiri Knife 12 degrees
