Nakiri

Nakiri is a Japanese-style vegetable knife. They differ from the deba in their shape, as they have a straight blade edge suitable for cutting all the way to the cutting board without the need for a horizontal pull or push. These knives are also much thinner, perfect for cutting vegetables and doesn’t have the heft of the deba, a heavy blade for easy cutting through thin bones and not suitable for chopping vegetables as it is a thicker blade can break the vegetable slice.
