Spyderco Murray Carter Collection Wakiita Nakiri. The Nakiri, which means "vegetable cutter," is the ideal tool for accurately pushing-cutting a wide variety of vegetables because to its distinctive rectangular shape and slightly upturned edge. The design of the knife's blade also keeps its length constant even after years of honing. "Near the cutting board" is the literal meaning of the term "wakiita," which designates senior apprentices proficient enough to help senior chefs.

Precision ground from CTS-BD1N, a high-carbon, nitrogen-enriched stainless steel that offers an excellent blend of hardness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance, the blades of the Wakiita Series knives are designed to last. For optimal cutting performance, they are ground incredibly thin and straight, much like every other knife in the Murray Carter Collection.
