The Fuji Cutlery Kurenai Nakiri knife is an ideal vegetable-chopping knife for the home or professional kitchen. From Fuji's top-of-the-line Reigetsu series, this is a high-quality, professionally constructed Japanese knife that expertly balances supreme sharpness with easy maintenance. 

The nakiri knife is a traditional Japanese knife developed around the Edo period. It’s a single-purpose knife, only for cutting vegetables, so it’s often called a Japanese vegetable knife. Their large blade size makes them great for cutting bulky vegetables like Chinese cabbage and pumpkin, and their straight edge makes them great at uniform cutting - like julienning vegetables.

The Kurenai's blade is made from extra sharp molybdenum vanadium steel, sandwiched between high-chrome stainless steel, leaving only the cutting edge exposed. This protects your blade from corrosion, chipping, and cracking. The beautiful reddish handle is laminated wood, and gives this knife a lot of style!
