Precision-forged nakiri knife

The Wusthof Classic Ikon Nakiri is a 7-inch Japanese-style vegetable knife forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel. Its blade is tempered to 58 HRC and finished with Precision Edge Technology for a 10-degree cutting angle. The hollow edge creates air pockets that reduce friction during slicing. A double bolster and black POM handle provide balance and a secure grip.

Replaces heavier cleavers and dull blades

This nakiri upgrades from traditional cleavers by offering a thinner, lighter blade that excels at precise vegetable work. The jump is worth it when you need clean, straight cuts without the weight of a cleaver or the wedging of a thicker chef's knife. The 20 percent sharper edge and double edge retention reduce sharpening frequency for daily prep.

Suits cooks focused on vegetable preparation

The straight, hollow-edge blade serves home cooks and professionals who prioritise speed and uniformity when processing large volumes of produce. Buyers who need a curved belly for rock-chopping herbs or a pointed tip for detailed paring tasks should look at a different blade profile. The specialised geometry limits versatility outside vegetable-centric workflows.
