The straight-bladed nakiri, or Japanese vegetable knife, is an incredibly useful blade for chopping a wide variety of produce with push cuts. The Damascus blade pattern releases food easily as you cut. Inspired by the high-performance knives used by Japanese chefs, our exclusive Shun Fuji collection represents the very best in cutlery craftsmanship and technology.
