NAKIRI is designed for processing root crops, and with its help the vegetables turn into strips, cubes or julienne billets of uniform size and shape. The blade of the knife is usually 160-175 mm long and 40-60 mm wide. With Nakiri, you can also process harder or hard-shelled root vegetables (e.g. carrots, pumpkins, etc.) well. Thanks to the straight and wide, but thin blade, the cut will be straight and even. Nakiri is sharpened from two sides.

Sakai Takayuki Blue 2 Kurouchi, a rustic dark-sided blue kayak steel knives, is the benchmark for authentic Japanese cutting tools.

The ultimate break, first-class good grain resistance (HRC 61-62), octagonal traditional WA handle and a pleasantly effective blade profile make the Kurouchi series knives the best helper for both pros and demanding home cooks who can appreciate authentic Japanese quality.
