PROBELM SOLVING KNIFE
The Small Nakiri is such a unique size. It fits in this sweet spot somewhere in between a paring knife and petty knife, solving a problem that I feel both types of knives have.
Length: While the Small Nakiri is a short knife, it’s a bit longer than a paring knife, making it easier and less awkward to slice, dice and mince. Even though it does have the added length, you can still perform all the tasks that a tiny paring knife can, like peeling garlic, apples and potatoes or suprèming citrus.
Height: A petty knife is smaller than a chef’s knife and a go-to prep blade for many cooks, including myself. These knives are a great size, but they aren’t known for having a ton of height to the blade. The Small Nakiri has all that appeal of a petty knife, but has all of the blade height they usually lack. This is so helpful for slicing through large bundles of herbs and chopping down heads of lettuce.
