Under utilized 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 wont 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Muneishi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38027638407342,"sku":"MNIA2\/SKU165NA","price":198.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/products\/muneishi-ao-sten-cbc-nakiri-165.jpg?v=1615318928"},{"product_id":"muneishi-aogami-stainless-kurouchi-gyuto-120mm","title":"Muneishi Aogami Stainless Kurouchi Gyuto 120mm","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe carry a lot of handmade knives at Knifewear, but few look as ‘hot-out-of-the-forge’ as Muneishi san’s.
