Wüsthof Classic 7-inch Hollow Edge Nakiri

A nakiri is a Japanese vegetable knife with a straight, rectangular blade. The Wüsthof Classic 7-inch hollow edge nakiri brings that shape to a forged German knife on the familiar riveted handle. Because there is no curve to the edge, each downward stroke cuts all the way through a bunch of scallions.

Use it to slice onions, shred cabbage for slaw and cut squash into even planks. Its tall blade keeps your knuckles clear and doubles as a scoop for the cutting board. Hollows along the sides help thin slices fall away, and the edge is ground fine for vegetables.

Since it is built for produce, pair it with a chef’s knife or boning knife for meat. Compare the Classic 7-inch santoku, whose rounded tip handles more varied work, and the Classic Ikon 7-inch nakiri with its contoured grip. The Kitchen Knife Shapes guide explains the nakiri and usuba.

    Care

    Wash by hand in warm, soapy water right after use and dry it immediately. Do not put the knife in the dishwasher or leave it soaking. Hone it regularly on a steel and sharpen it when honing no longer restores the edge. Cut on wood or plastic boards, never on glass, stone or metal.
