Precision Vegetable Prep Made Effortless.
The WÜSTHOF Classic Ikon Hollow Edge Nakiri is the ultimate knife for fast, precise, and efficient vegetable preparation. Inspired by the traditional Japanese Nakiri design, this 17 cm blade is purpose-built for slicing, dicing, mincing, and chopping with exceptional control and ease.
Ideal for handling everything from herbs and leafy greens to dense root vegetables and fruit, the Nakiri’s straight-edged blade delivers clean, full cuts with every motion. Its wide profile makes transferring chopped ingredients from board to pan simple and efficient, making it a favourite for cooks who value speed and accuracy in prep work.
The hollow edge features precision-ground dimples that create small air pockets during slicing, helping reduce sticking and allowing ingredients to glide away from the blade more easily. Precision-forged in Germany from high-carbon stainless steel, this knife offers excellent sharpness, durability, and long-lasting edge retention.
Part of the premium Classic Ikon range, it features the distinctive ergonomic handle design for exceptional comfort, balance, and control. While inspired by a cleaver shape, this Nakiri is designed strictly for produce and should not be used for cutting through bones or hard materials.
