Wüsthof Classic Ikon 7-inch Hollow Edge Nakiri

Square at the tip and straight along the edge, the Classic Ikon 7-inch hollow edge nakiri is Wüsthof’s vegetable knife for Ikon’s rounded handle. The edge contacts the board from heel to tip, so a single press cuts cleanly through a stack of cabbage leaves without rocking.

Julienne peppers, cut sweet potatoes into planks and slice leeks into fine rings for a soup or a braise. With 1.9 inches of height, the blade keeps your knuckles off the board and ferries vegetables to the pan. Dimples ground into the sides let thin slices release.

The Classic Ikon handle suits a full grip, and the bolster-free heel keeps the whole edge within reach of a sharpener. Reserve a chef’s knife for meat. Weigh it against the Classic Ikon 7-inch santoku, which has a rounded tip for more varied work, and the Classic 7-inch nakiri. Our knife shapes guide covers the nakiri.

    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.
