In Japan, a Nakiri is a vegetable knife.The flat, rectangular blade is specially designed for vegetable prep like slicing, dicing, and chopping with clean, straight cuts.It's designed to handle a full range of vegetables, and a lot more, with ease. It is mainly used by home cooks for quickly and efficiently chopping, slicing, and mincing vegetables, and fruits, becoming a popular knife among vegetarians.Bunka knives are one of the few multipurpose traditional Japanese blades, and can be used as a slicer or a vegetable knife. These sword shaped knives feature a straighter and wider edge than a Yanagi for vegetables, and a longer blade than an Usuba for slicing fish with ease. The user need to be more skilled with traditional Japanese knives in order to utilize this unique Bunka style design properly. Traditionally, these knives are used only by head chefs as a symbol of status. 5Cr15 stainless steel is highly corrosion resistant and is hand-forged by craftsmen to provide very good edge sharpness and edge retention. The center of the blade is made of hard steel for high sharpness, and the two sides are covered with a variety of soft steel materials. The multiple steels are connected by metallurgy, not by electroplating or glue. The more the blade is forged, the more complex the corrugations are, and the more beautiful the unique texture pattern is. About the handle, the beautifully crafted buffalo shackles (shims) on the ebony handle represent high quality and excellent durability, meaning it was originally made for professionals. The Japanese octagonal handle shape fits your hand better.
