Shun Classic Blonde 6.5-inch Nakiri

The nakiri is a versatile Japanese-style vegetable knife, and Shun says it handles a full range of vegetables and a lot more. Its straight edge suits a push cut, meeting the board along its length so each slice goes cleanly through, which makes it fast for daily salads and stir-fry prep.

The tall blade gives knuckle clearance and carries cut vegetables to the pan. The blonde Pakkawood handle on this version brightens the look of the Classic line. Cooks who prep a lot of produce will find it faster and more precise than a general-purpose knife for that work.
