A 6" ceramic nakiri designed for efficient vegetable prep, straight cuts, and full board contact. The Kyocera Innovation White 6" Nakiri is built specifically for vegetable work. The straight edge profile allows the blade to make full contact with the cutting board, producing clean, complete cuts with each stroke. This design is especially effective for chopping, slicing, and processing dense or fibrous vegetables. It reduces the need for rocking motions and keeps prep consistent and efficient. The blade is made from zirconia ceramic. It holds its edge significantly longer than steel and maintains that performance through extended use. Because it is non-reactive, it will not affect flavor or cause browning when working with ingredients like cabbage, onions, apples, or herbs. This knife cuts with very little resistance. It produces smooth surfaces and allows ingredients to separate cleanly from the blade. The 6" length provides enough surface area for board work while remaining easy to control. The tall blade also helps with guiding cuts and transferring ingredients. Compared to a santoku or chef’s knife, the nakiri offers more consistent contact with the board, which improves efficiency when processing vegetables in volume. Ceramic holds its edge well but does not flex. Avoid hard materials such as bones or frozen foods, and do not twist the blade during use. This knife is best suited for vegetables, fruits, and herbs. It is not intended for proteins or heavy-duty cutting. The lightweight construction reduces fatigue during repetitive chopping. The handle provides a secure, stable grip for controlled cutting. The blade will not rust or corrode. When sharpening is required, it should be done with a diamond system or professional service. Learn More
