Wüsthof Classic Ikon Hollow Edge Nakiri Knife – Precision Veggie Prep with Japanese Efficiency
Chop like a pro with the Wüsthof Classic Ikon Hollow Edge Nakiri Knife—a Japanese-style vegetable cleaver designed for maximum control and ultra-clean cuts. Whether you’re prepping piles of produce 🥕🥬 or crafting delicate garnishes, this 5″ or 7″ Nakiri offers the perfect blend of speed, precision, and balance.
The thin, straight-edged blade excels at slicing, dicing, and julienning. Its rectangular profile promotes a forward thrust motion rather than a rocking cut, making it ideal for clean, straight slices. The hollow edge (granton edge) adds efficiency by reducing drag and preventing food from sticking 🍅—so prep is quicker and cleaner.
Crafted in Solingen, Germany, the blade is precision-forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel and paired with an ergonomic, triple-riveted handle for a balanced grip and long-lasting durability.
