Masutani VG1 Hammered 5" Nakiri, Black Handle

The Masutani VG1 Hammered Nakiri is simply Japanese for "vegetable knife." With its straight blade, edge, and spine, the Nakiri isn't rocked like a chef's knife. Instead, use a simple push cut and enjoy the clean, swift work it makes of vegetables of all kinds. The multifunctional blade provides a generous surface to scoop diced foods into a pan. For daily salad preparation or chopping vegetables for stir-fry, it can't be beat.
