Vegetable Knives

Vegetable Knives for Slicing, Chopping & Precision Prep:

This vegetable knife collection is dedicated to kitchen knives for preparing fruit and vegetables, with 36 products covering compact prep knives, wavy-edge vegetable knives, fluted blades and Japanese-style Usuba and Nakiri knives. Brands represented include Victorinox, Scanpan, Global, MAC, Mundial, Zyliss and Kasumi, with blade lengths ranging from 9cm to 19cm.

Compact Vegetable & Prep Knives:

For detailed preparation, the range includes numerous 10cm Victorinox vegetable knives with both straight and wavy blades. Pointed-tip designs and multiple handle colours are represented, providing practical options for trimming, slicing and other smaller vegetable-preparation tasks.

Scanpan also offers compact vegetable knives, including colourful 10cm Spectrum models and 11.5cm Classic and Classic Steel designs. The Classic Steel version uses German stainless steel with a taper-ground cutting edge and ergonomic handle. A 90mm Zyliss vegetable knife provides an even more compact alternative.

Global Vegetable Knives:

Global makes up a significant part of the larger-blade selection, with Classic, NI and SAI vegetable knives ranging from 14cm to 19cm. Several models feature fluted blades, including 14cm, 16cm and 18cm options.

Selected Global knives use CROMOVA 18 stainless steel and hollow stainless steel handles. Fluted or scalloped grooves along the blade help reduce friction and food sticking when mincing, chopping and slicing.

Japanese Usuba & Nakiri Knives:

For shoppers looking for Japanese vegetable knives, the collection includes MAC and Kasumi models. The 16.5cm MAC JU-65 is an Usuba-style knife with a thin, double-bevelled straight edge. Its blade can make full contact with the cutting board without a rocking motion, making it particularly suited to precise vegetable slicing and chopping.

A 17cm MAC Professional model provides another Japanese option, while the Kasumi Damascus Nakiri 17cm offers the distinctive broad, straight-edged Nakiri format.

Choosing the Right Vegetable Knife:

Choose a compact 9–11.5cm knife for trimming and controlled preparation of smaller produce. Longer 14–19cm blades provide more cutting surface for chopping and slicing larger vegetables or greater quantities. If food sticking is a concern, compare the fluted Global designs; for straight up-and-down chopping, consider the Usuba and Nakiri-style options.
