The Classic Japanese Vegetable Chopper

Materials

Fashioned from AEB-L razor blade stainless steel to ensure that the Bird River's blade has exceptional sharpness and durability. The Japanese Wa style handle can be customized to your preferences using a combination of various kinds of woods and composite materials.

Design

Based on the classic Japanese vegetable chopper, this RDF knife features a minute sweep to the blade to allow a short rocking motion to assist in cutting. This provides the user with the ability to rapid-chop vegetables and make delicate slices. The ovoid octagon faceted handle insures excellent blade control.

The Bird River loves to cut large leafy greens like romaine salad, kale and bok choy but will handle slicing root vegetables like a champ. Getting fine carrot and radish slices for quick pickles will be a breeze.

The Bird River Nakiri is not only a beautifully crafted kitchen knife, but it is also a tribute to the breathtaking natural beauty of Manitoba's Bird River. Its exceptional design and craftsmanship make it a must-have for anyone who loves to cook and appreciates the beauty of nature. The wood's natural grain patterns and colours are reminiscent of the Bird River's lush and serene aquatic plants, further adding to the knife's natural charm.

Colourway

For 2024, the "Cattail" handle colourway will be changed to dark/green Tru-Stone/dark. 

Drop the Bird River into your shopping cart. It's an excellent addition to any home cook or professional chef's collection.

Burns, Blades & Banter

Wa-style handle construction is a traditional handle construction where the tang of the knife is embedded into the wood handle. To ease in the construction of this type of knife handle, a slotted dowel is inserted into a hollow inside of the handle. It is then pinned and epoxied into place for an enhanced bond.
