"Nakiri" means vegetable knife in Japanese, and the Wusthof Gourmet Nakiri is ideal for slicing and dicing all types of vegetables. Use the straight blade to make push cuts quickly and easily. The blade of a Nakiri is thinner than the blade of a cleaver. The blade edge is also sharpened at a more acute angle than Western-style blades. The hollow-ground indentations help prevent food from sticking to the blade.
The Wusthof Gourmet collection features stamped blades precisely cut with state-of-the-art laser technology for quality cutlery at a great value. The blade is laser-cut and stamped from X50CrMoV15 steel, which is a high-carbon stainless steel that includes vanadium for durability and wear resistance, and molybdenum for hardness and corrosion resistance. The triple-riveted knife handle is made from a highly durable synthetic that resists fading and discoloration.
