Nakiri – a nimble “laser” for vegetables

With a slim blade (38 mm high) and razor-thin 1 mm back, this nakiri cuts vegetables with minimal resistance and great control on the board. The lightweight design (105 g) with a yo handle on rivets gives a secure grip and quick handling for shredding, dicing and slicing. The DP STAINLESS STEEL stainless steel makes daily maintenance easy – a practical kitchen workhorse for vegetables.

Key strengths

• Ultra-thin 1 mm blade – “drives” into the product effortlessly.

• 162 mm blade length – ideal for everyday shredding and precision cutting.

• Height of 38 mm – good knuckle control on the board, yet handy profile.

• Lightweight (105 g) and agile – less hand fatigue for long slicing.

• Handle yo*– secure grip, classic rivets, good ergonomics.

• Stainless steel “DP STAINLESS STEEL” – easy care, corrosion resistance.

* Yo handle – a Western (European) type of handle with a full or half-full shank and rivet-fastened facings.
* Bolster – a metal “foot” between the blade and the handle that improves grip and protects the hand; this model lacks a bolster.

Application
Vegetables of all kinds: chopping herbs, cabbage and lettuces, julienne, payard, thin slicing; fruits without hard seeds. Not for bones, frozen foods and undermining.

Care
Hand wash, quick dry. Store in a scabbard/leaf/block. Sharpen on water stones (e.g. #1000 → #3000/6000). Avoid dishwasher and roller sharpeners.
