The Nakiri is built specifically for that job, and the difference is immediately noticeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nakiri is a double-bevel vegetable knife with a tall big rectangular blade and a flat edge, typically 160mm to 170mm. It might look like a cleaver but it’s definitely not a cleaver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flat profile is the key feature. Unlike a Gyuto or Santoku, which have a curved belly that lifts off the board mid-stroke, the Nakiri's edge stays in full contact with the board through the entire cut. The result is clean, complete cuts through vegetables without the accordion effect - where connected slices are still partially joined at the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a strong second knife for anyone who already owns a Gyuto and wants a dedicated vegetable blade. And the wide blade is also handy for scooping up food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor chefs it’s a super-efficient knife for chopping or slicing quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso very helpful for home cooks who cut a lot of vegetables, whether that's weeknight stir-fries, batch meal prep, or plant-forward cooking. You don't need any particular skill level to use one effectively - the straight-down chopping motion is intuitive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to a Gyuto or Santoku, the Nakiri doesn’t have a pointed tip and is more limited in use on proteins. It won't replace a general-purpose knife. Compared to an Usuba, the Nakiri is double-bevel, making it significantly more forgiving to use and sharpen - the Usuba is the professional single-bevel equivalent that demands considerably more technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen choosing, a 165mm or 180mm blade handles most tasks. Stainless steel is the practical everyday choice. If you prep large quantities of hard vegetables consider a heavier construction for the additional momentum it provides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nakiri won't do everything, but for general vegetable prep it does its job better than any other knife in the kitchen. And it's a lot of fun to use!\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"konosuke-hd2-180mm-nakiri","title":"Konosuke HD2 180mm Nakiri","description":"\u003ch2\u003eKonosuke Sakai HD2 Nakiri - 180mm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn about 2011 we sold a new range of knives from Konosuke called the HD range. They were made from a limited batch of steel that was semi stainless and ground super thin, pretty much the disruptors of their time. Word spread and the knives became really popular, maybe too popular as the steel soon ran out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTime went by as Konosuke searched for new steel with similar properties and finally they released the HD2 range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HD2 range today still have the cult following of the originals, they still sell out way too quickly and they are still super thin, light to hold with superior cutting, great edge retention and ease of resharpening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo why are they so popular? The HD and HD2 have been the inspiration for every super thin knife that have followed. Thin blades give an ethereal cutting experience because there is no wedging into harder foods and they don’t need thinning after a few resharpening’s as the blade remains thinner behind the edge in comparison to traditional grinds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome advice to the uninitiated.

Armed with fire, steel, and what was almost certainly a stubborn refusal to do things the easy way, he founded what would become Yoshikane Cutlery Manufacturing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFast forward more than a century and the forge is still roaring. The business is now in the hands of its fourth-generation custodian, Kazuomi Yamamoto, proving that some traditions survive far longer than governments, fashions, and most Italian sports cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company calls Sanjo City home. It's a place where metalworking isn't merely an industry; it's practically a religion. For generations, blacksmiths here forged blades and carpentry tools while merchants carried their reputation from a small provincial town to every corner of the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd in the middle of all this sits Yoshikane. For more than 100 years, the company has stubbornly ignored the modern obsession with shortcuts, continuing to forge knives much as its founders did: one at a time, by hand, with traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result isn't simply a knife.
