＋Wusthof Gourmet 7" Hollow Edge Nakiri Knife
If you spend a large portion of your day sorting and chopping vegetables for various dishes, then this is the perfect knife for you. This special blade makes quick work out of nearly every vegetable or fruit that you can think of while providing a flawless cut each and every time, the addition of the "hollow" edge depressions prevent foods from sticking to the knife meaning you'll have to touch the blade less, increasing your rate of speed. A traditional Japanese vegetable cleaver, the Wusthof Gourmet Hollow Edge Nakiri is primarily designed to effortlessly slice, dice and julienne vegetables, and can also be used to cleanly cut the thinnest slices of fruit, fish and meat. Featuring a wide blade with a distinctive, rectangular shape, the Wusthof Gourmet 7" Nakiri Knife is designed for cutting with a forward thrust action, rather than a the traditional rocking or horizontal pull and push movement used with rounded blade knives, such as European-style cook or chef knives. The blade of the Wusthof Gourmet Nakiri Knife is much thinner when compared to other knives in the Gourmet collection, facilitating precision cutting. Additionally, the cutting edge is angled on both sides, which makes it easier to cut straight slices. The Wusthof Gourmet Nakiri Knife with Hollow Ground Edge is distinguished by a row of beveled ovals at the edge of the blade. This design creates air pockets to eliminate drag when cutting sticky foods that tend to adhere to the side of the blade, such as raw potatoes, fish and meat. Laser cut to perfection from a single piece of steel, the Wusthof Gourmet knife is lighter than the Classic series. The blades are stamped rather than forged, using the same high carbon no-stain steel as in the precision forged lines. Made in Solingen, Germany since 1814. Lifetime warranty for materials and/or craftsmanship. Dishwasher safe (but not recommended). Wusthof item number 1025047317, previously 4195-7.
