Nakiri Knives
The edge of this shape is almost flat for the entire length and is the consummate knife for the preparation of vegetables. The wide rectangular blade is ideal for scooping and the best shape for vertical chopping of hard and dense foods like cabbages, celeriac etc.
Function – Vegetable knife. For Slicing, Dicing and Mincing of vegetables.
Normal length – 160mm to 180mm
Tip: A few models have a completely flat edge with no curve so if you need to roll cut as well as vertically chop (to Julienne or Chiffonade herbs) select a model that has a slight curve towards the tip. This is the ‘uber’ knife for vegetables.
Tsuchime Gift Set of 3 Knives
This 3 piece set is forged from a high quality (M/V) stainless steel that is very sharp and easy to resaharpen on the KC 100 Water Wheel sharpener. The knives are made by a commercial knife maker in Japan that only supplies large retailers and Department stores in Japan. |Is made by a very modern factory that uses robots and automated processes to achieve exacting standards expected by Japanese consumers and will compare to any Western made resharpenknife at even twice the price.
The Tsuchime finish reduces the adhesion of sticky foods by breaking the vacuum between a smooth surface of the blade and the food being cut.
Fantastic value.
