A Knife to Live By
In an age of fibre and fermentation, when the true value of vegetables is being realised, this knife comes into its own. The Nakiri was first made in Japan during the 17th century, a design so well suited to its task that it has remained unchanged for over four hundred years. When you hold it, you’re holding a piece of history that generations of cooks saw no need to alter.
Specifically shaped for clean, precise cuts, the Nakiri turns preparation into an art you want to return to. The weight sits easily in the hand. The edge moves without resistance, gliding through tomatoes, cabbage, and even the most stubborn roots with ease. It’s the kind of knife that makes you forget effort, and focus instead on the pleasure of the work.
A tool like this is not fleeting. With proper care, it will serve you for your entire life, carrying its date of making as both a reminder of its birth and a promise of its longevity.
