Once you use it, you will see why professional chefs and good cooks around the world choose this beautiful and extremely useful tool whenever they have fruits or vegetables to prepare. With its straight blade, edge, and spine, the nakiri is perfect with a simple push cut. With its blunt end, it is extra safe and easy to use, too.
