I will explain why and how to choose a Japanese Nakiri knife.
The Nakiri is a Japanese adaption of the Chinese Cleaver and is used to cut vegetables. While the Nakiri is seen as a vegetable knife, you can also use it on fish and meat.

Nakiri knives used in the video:

Xinzuo Nakiri 440C (The Nakiri feels performs like a Chef's knife. My suggestion is to go for the Chef's knife instead of the Nakiri):

Xinzuo Chef knife (Gyuto) 210mm - Yun Series :

I suggest to look at Xinzuo since Yarenh is a reseller:
