A Nakiri is an extremely versatile Japanese vegetable knife used for tasks such as cutting, dicing, or chopping. Although it resembles a cleaver, it should not be confused with one - the Nakiri is not suitable for rough tasks such as splitting bones. Its sharp and finely ground blade is designed to prep vegetables, herbs and fruit finely and quickly. Its dimpled edge (slight depressions in the blade that allow small pockets of air to form) helps to prevent ingredients from sticking. Wusthof’s Classic Ikon line features a distinctive, double bolster design for professional-style heft, exceptional balance and beauty.
