Underutilised in the Western kitchen, the Nakiri’s flat blade is meant for the push\/pull chopping of vegetables. Since the entire flat edge of the knife kisses the cutting board at once, you won't be turning the vegetable into an accordion. Accordion vegetables are still connected like a paper doll after you're “done” cutting them. To truly understand the awesomeness of a Nakiri we recommend making onion soup your first night with the knife. The ease of chopping will blow you away.\n","brand":"Yu Kurosaki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43904977666222,"sku":"YKUVGXEOSGEKKO165NA","price":393.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/files\/kurosaki-new-gekko-nakiri-1.jpg?v=1682610453"},{"product_id":"yu-kurosaki-vg-xeos-gekko-gyuto-210mm","title":"Yu Kurosaki VG XEOS Gekko Gyuto 210mm","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout Yu Kurosaki -\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIt’s best to think of Kurosaki-san as an Anakin Skywalker of sorts, he’s incredibly talented and half the age of his colleagues.
