Overview
Slicing vegetables with a flat, straight blade is the job of this Cangshan nakiri, which pairs a high carbon steel blade with a fiberglass composite handle. A sheath ships with it.
A short, straight blade and a hollow edge make it a vegetable specialist, and the composite handle gives it a colorful look. It is not a general chef knife, and no weight is given.
Who it's for
Home cooks who slice cabbage, onions and herbs will use the flat profile. Cooks wanting an all-purpose chef knife with a curved belly should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Hollow edge for release
- Fiberglass composite handle
- Straight profile for push cuts
- Narrow, vegetable focus
- Weight not listed
- Warranty not listed
- Dishwasher use not addressed
Performance notes
A flat edge meets the board along its full length, so push cuts go cleanly through produce. The hollow edge makes small pockets that help thin slices release from the blade. High carbon steel takes an edge well but needs drying after use.
