KAI Discount Online Shun Seki Magoroku Pakka Wood Nakiri Knife, 16.5cm

Product Info

Nakiri is Japanese for vegetable chopper. The Nakiri is a traditional vegetable cleaver, ideal for chopping greens and all kinds of vegetables. Despite its cleaver shape, these knives aren’t suitable for chopping meat or bones. The KAI Seki Magoroku Pakka Wood Series includes 12 different blade shapes.
