Nakiri 165 mm Tojiro Basic – Japanese precision for vegetables

The Nakiri knife from the Tojiro Basic series is a specialised Japanese kitchen knife with a 165 mm blade, designed specifically for precise vegetable preparation. Weighing just 130 grams, this knife offers optimal control and reduces strain during extended use. The Nakiri is characterised by its straight, wide blade with a squared-off tip.

The straight double-bevelled blade allows you to slice vegetables with minimal resistance, producing clean cuts without crushing the cells. This preserves both the flavour and texture of your ingredients. The wide blade also acts as a convenient "scoop" for transferring chopped vegetables from the board to the pan.
