🥦 The two signature uses of the nakiri knife
The nakiri excels in precision cuts: julienned carrots, ultra-fine minced onions, translucent fennel slices. The rectangular blade ensures total contact with the board with each cut — the key to perfect uniformity.
Zucchini, eggplant, peppers, cabbage, broccoli: the nakiri handles them quickly and well, with a repeated vertical motion without fatigue. Its lightness and balance allow large volumes to be prepared without wrist strain.

💡 Note: the sharpening stone remains the traditional tool for Japanese knives. If you are a purist ready to invest months to master the technique, it's an excellent choice. But for 95% of cooks, the rotary gives an equivalent result in a few minutes — without the risk of error that would destroy your blade.
