Wusthof Classic Ikon 7" Hollow Edge Nakiri - 1040332617

Wusthof 1040332617 Classic Ikon 7" Hollow Edge Nakiri

The Japanese vegetable knife: extremely versatile and suitable for tasks such as cutting, dicing or chopping. Its shape is reminiscent of a cleaver but should not be confused with it as a Nakiri is not suitable for rough tasks (such as splitting bones). The very sharp and finely ground blade is more designed to prep vegetables, herbs and fruit very quickly and finely. The dimpled edge of the knife (slight depressions in the blade that allow small pockets of air to form) prevents ingredients from sticking.

Key Features

• Precision-forged from a single blank of high carbon stainless steel
• Full tang that is triple riveted to the handle for precise control
