ZWILLING Nakiri Knife

The Nakiri is a Japanese-style vegetable knife designed specifically for chopping, mincing, and dicing produce. Its flat edge and rectangular shape allow for clean, vertical cuts through vegetables without the rocking motion required by a chef's knife.

The curved bolster is designed to support your thumb, encouraging a 'pinch grip' on the blade. This position provides better control, stability, and comfort, especially during repetitive tasks like prepping large batches of vegetables.

At 7.6 ounces, this knife is balanced by its full tang construction, which extends the metal through the entire handle. This weight distribution provides a sturdy, professional feel without being overly heavy or fatiguing during extended prep sessions.

The FRIODUR ice-hardening process improves the molecular structure of the steel, resulting in a blade that is exceptionally sharp and highly resistant to corrosion. This ensures the edge maintains its sharpness for longer periods compared to standard stainless steel.

No, this knife is specifically engineered for vegetable preparation. The blade is thin and precise, and attempting to cut through bones or frozen foods can chip or damage the fine edge.
