The Nakiri (菜切り) knife is a Western-style Japanese vegetable knife with a thin and broad rectangular blade, a straight cutting edge, and a flat, blunt tip. It is specifically designed to excel at quickly and efficiently chopping, slicing, dicing and mincing vegetables.

About the Steel - Shirogami

Developed by Hitachi Metals in Japan, the Shirogami (White) series steel is very popular steel among Japanese knife makers. Reasons behind its popularity include easy to sharpen and good edge retention. Special care must be taken as knives made with these steels are prone to rust.

About the Finish - Kurouchi

Kurouchi (黒打ち) refers to the darkened steel surface as a result from the forging process which forms a coating of oxide. It is the most rusting finish of all but gives knives a traditional character.
