Dear Milk Streeter, What if I told you that there is a Japanese knife specifically designed for vegetable prep that will make your cooking safer, easier and faster? It is vastly better than the all-purpose European chef's knife, which is large, clunky and heavy, plus the blade is too thick to precisely slice and dice onions, cut carrots into perfect coins or reduce chard into feathery ribbons.The solution to this problem is the Japanese nakiri. It is specifically designed for prepping vegetables, with a light, thin sharp blade and a design that resembles a mini cleaver—2 inches deep with a squared-off tip. Why is the nakiri so great at vegetable prep? Unlike most other cultures, the Japanese believe that each knife should be designed with a specific purpose in mind. This is part of washoku, the Japanese approach to cooking that reflects centuries of culinary experience and an appreciation of respect for the preparation of food.Enter the nakiri, the ultimate vegetable prep knife. Unlike the heavy, all-purpose European chef's knife, the nakiri has a very thin blade, just 1.6 millimeters at the top, tapering down to the sharp cutting edge. Being so thin, the blade cuts effortlessly and the 2-inch width shields your fingers when you chop. Its simple, rectangular shape feels intuitive in the hand—and it doubles as a bench scraper to transfer chopped veggies to the simmering pot. For the MILK STREET NAKIRI, we added a few special touches with the help of veteran industrial designer David Lewin. The full length of the blade is embossed with a nonstick file pattern that replicates the kurouchi (blacksmith) or tsuchime (pear skin) finish to traditional nakiri knives. We gently curved the blade to accommodate fingers when choking up tight for control. The handle has been designed for a nonslip grip, with the top thicker than the bottom so it nestles nicely in the hand. Bevelled edges near the blade also make it easier to choke up on the knife for detail work. Cooking is 90% prep and most of that is vegetables. So if you want to make cooking fun again, as well as easy and safe, the Milk Street Nakiri can change the way you cook. | | | | |

Stays Sharp German 1.4116 steel is an industry standard for sharpness, edge retention, durability and stainless properties. Just the Right Length The Milk Street Nakiri makes subtle changes to the classic form to improve the function for home cooking. For starters, we made the cutting edge 6¾ inches long, which is right-sized for perfect control—short enough for detail work and long enough for clean slicing. Ultra-Thin Blade The 1.6-millimeter spine tapers even thinner toward the tip. This reduces the force required to cut for cleaner, easier knifework. Slightly Curved We added a gentle curve to the tip for rock chopping and mincing in addition to graceful slicing and chopping. If you're used to a Western chef's knife, the blade profile will feel familiar but more effective. | | Broad, Safe Design At 2 inches tall, the broad blade shields your fingers when you chop. Also, it works as a bench scraper to transfer chopped veggies to the simmering pot. Nonstick Embossing The full length of the blade is embossed with a nonstick file pattern that replicates the kurouchi (blacksmith) or tshuchime (pear skin) finish to traditional nakiri knives. Lock-In Handle Milk Street's signature ergonomic polymer handle is designed to feel comfortable and secure regardless of hand size. Its broad and rounded across the top to fill the palm then narrows to the bottom to accommodate the fingers. We also tapered the handle toward the blade to accommodate a confident pinch grip. Lightweight At only 160 grams (just under 6 ounces), it feels featherweight, making prep a pleasure not a chore. | | Our Customers Love It, Too: | | | | |
