It has a flat profile (less curved blade) that helps the knife make consistent contact with the cutting board when using an up and down chopping motion, helping to avoid pesky accordions of stuck together ingredients. Any well rounded kit should contain a Nakiri, but if this is your first knife you might consider a Gyuto, Santoku or Bunka, as their pointed tips makes them more versatile.\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-18477ddd-7fff-287f-8547-7f84e52337f6\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/i1WsRFdAYmg\" title=\"How to Maintain a Stainless Steel Knife\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Care (Stainless Steel)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlthough this knife is made from stainless steel we do still encourage our customers to keep their knives as dry and clean as possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNO DISHWASHER - the high heat will ruin the wooden handle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash and dry by hand using regular dish soap and warm water using a none abrasive sponge or cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure the knife is dry before being put away for storage and ensure the edge of the knife is protected to avoid any unnecessary dulling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid Bones, Frozen foods, nuts and hard candies or anything other than fruits, vegetables and proteins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimply Wipe the knife with a damp cloth immediately after use to keep it from rusting or discouloring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever put your knife in the Dishwasher.
