Hitohira Imojiya Kuma Blue #2 Nashiji Tsuchime Nakiri 160mm Pakka Handle (No Bolster)

The classic vegetable knife. Highly functional for processing large amounts of vegetables and preforming finer cutting tasks such as julienne of brunoise. The absence of a pronounced belly in the profile orientates it more towards chopping style cutting motions rather than rolling cuts.
