Wusthof Classic Nakiri Vegetable Knife with Hollow Edge Feature

• The Classic Nakiri Knife combines the features of a chef's knife with the versatility of a vegetable cleaver

• No-stick Granton edge makes a cut that forms air pockets, allowing food to release easier from the blade
• Precision forged in Solingen, Germany, from high-carbon no-stain steel; full tang
• High-impact handle is riveted to the full tang for superior balance and maneuverability; hand washing is recommended for best care

This knife's blade shape originates in Japan; the thin, wide blade is easily controlled and produces very fine and even cuts. It is a versatile vegetable cleaver for slicing, dicing, and chopping both soft and hard vegetables, as well as large vegetables and fruit. The granton edge creates pockets of air which prevent extra-thin or soft slices from sticking to the blade. The blade is forged from one piece of specially tempered high carbon steel to ensure outstanding strength. The precision forged blade, bolster, and tang are married to the incredibly durable Hostaform-C handle, triple-riveted to the fully-visible tang.
Wüsthof knives offer a harmonious blend of precision cutting performance, integrity of materials, safety, and comfort. The knife is hot-drop forged by hand from a single blank of high carbon no-stain steel, a specially alloyed surgical steel consisting of exacting proportions of carbon, chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium. The blade is perfectly tapered from bolster to tip, and from the back of the blade to the edge, and is honed by hand. Perfect balance is assured by the full extension of the tang through the length of the handle. A seamless, totally hygienic fit is achieved by the durable Hostaform-C handle, triple-riveted to the fully visible tang; the handle is buffed and polished by hand.
