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":"Touroku Sakai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46167944069294,"sku":"KK-05","price":208.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/files\/Toroku-Sakai-Yukage-nakiri-160mm-1.jpg?v=1765997924"},{"product_id":"toroku-sakai-vg10-tsuchime-damascus-sujihiki-240mm","title":"Touroku Sakai Yukage Sujihiki 240mm","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Touroku Sakai -\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnlike so many region-specific knifemakers, Toroku Sakai works with craftspeople from all across Japan.
