Cuisinart 7-inch Nakiri Knife: The Vegetable-Prep Workhorse
Unlike a chef's knife, a nakiri knife has a straight, thin blade that’s ideal for up-and-down chopping. This Cuisinart version brings that traditional Japanese shape into the Stainless Steel Collection, so you can slice through onions, peppers, carrots, and herbs with minimal drag and maximum control.
Blade and Guard Built for Everyday Use
The high-quality stainless steel blade resists corrosion and holds a sharp edge for regular meal prep. The matching blade guard slides on easily for safe storage and protection in the drawer. You won't have to worry about it clanking around or accidental bumps.
How to Use and Care for a Nakiri Knife
Use a gentle push-down chopping motion for vegetables, and always cut on a wooden or plastic board. Hand wash the blade with warm, soapy water and dry it immediately. Put the guard back on before storing to protect the edge and keep hands safe.
