Pro tip:
Pro tip: The Nakiri is optimized for the classic up-and-down motion —quite unlike Western chef's knives. Place the blade flat on the cutting board and make even, straight cuts through the vegetables. Avoid rocking motions—the Nakiri cuts best when the entire blade is guided through the food at the same time. The wide blade is your built-in spatula: use it to pick up and transfer cut vegetables directly into the pot. For wafer-thin slices, hold the vegetable using the "claw grip" technique and make even, steady cuts.
With the Güde , you will experience how effortlessly vegetables can be cut into even slices, perfect cubes, or wafer-thin strips. Whether crisp carrots for salad, tender leafy vegetables for wok dishes, firm cabbages for sauerkraut, or large pumpkins for soup —the wide, flat blade glides precisely through every vegetable.The rectangular blade shape is ideal for the classic up-and-down technique: place the blade flat on the cutting board and make even, straight cuts. No rocking, no tilting—just clean, precise cuts. The wide blade is also perfect for picking up and transferring cut vegetables directly into a pot or pan.
