Description

The Gourmet Nakiri Knife from Wusthof combines the features of a chef's knife with the versatility of a vegetable cleaver. The hollow-edge blade, angled on both sides for slicing and chopping, is 30% sharper and holds its edge 30% longer than ordinary Asian-style blades. The no-stick hollow edge makes a cut that forms air pockets, allowing food to release easier from the blade. Meats will cut deli-thin for sandwiches, or for stir-frying. When it comes to chopping, slicing and mincing fresh produce, this professional knife is a true champion. Shaped like a slender cleaver, it performs impeccably on everything from summer tomatoes to winter squashes.

Engineered in the style of cutlery used by Japanese chefs for centuries, this Wusthof 5-inch santoku slices meats deli-thin for sandwiches, creates strips for stir fry or fajitas and quickly trims uniform pieces for stews and soups. Perfect for preparing a wide range of cuisines--from fine Asian to modern American. The hollow edge creates pockets of air, which prevent extra thin or soft slices from sticking to the blade. Precision formed from of a single piece of Wusthof's own high-carbon stainless-steel, this is the knife every seasoned chef prefers in the kitchen. Triple compression rivets attach the high-impact handle securely to the full tang for superior balance and maneuverability.
