The secret to cutting a good piece of nigiri is a knife that lets you glide the blade from the heel to the tip in a single, smooth motion
Photo: Eunice Byun In the 15 years we’ve lived in New York City, my husband and I have frequented dozens of sushi restaurants. We’ve saddled up at long, narrow bars to dine omakase-style, trusting the chef to curate our dishes, and tried out fusion restaurants and holes in the wall.
As the co-founder of kitchenware line Material, I have a well-stocked knife drawer, but I soon found that even my best chef’s knife felt unwieldy when dealing with delicate raw fish. Sure, a sharp knife gets 80 percent of the job done, but to get that nice, clean cut for nigiri pieces, you’ll benefit from a longer, narrower, more maneuverable knife. Most meals ended with frustration, until our friend Jumee, whose father is an amateur fisherman, intervened.

It’s missing the signature beveled blade, meaning that only one edge of the blade is sharpened. This creates a slight angle that allows for even thinner cuts and prevents fish from sticking to the knife. But if you’re not ready to invest in a sushi knife, this does the job quite well.
