Founded in 1814, Wüstof makes a variety of knives for a chef's every need. A family-owned company, Wüstof is dedicated to making the best high-quality, forged knives for both personal and professional use. Why use a low-quality knife with a dull blade to chop your ingredients when you could make cooking a joy with great knives that make the job easy? Check out the web page at Sur La Table for a wide selection of these fine Wüsted knives.
Nakiri Knives
The Nakiri knife is known in Japan as the "Nakiri Bocho", which means "knife for cutting greens." However, the non-Japanese version is very popular in the west and offers a sharp, double bevel blade for cutting vegetables and leafy greens. The blade is thin, light and rectangular in shape with a blunted tip so that users are less likely to cut themselves. The Wüstof Classic Ikon Hollow-Edge 7" Nakiri offers you:
- An innovative handle designed for comfort and control
- Forged from one piece of tempered high carbon steel to ensure maximum strength
- Hollow-ground edge creates air pockets between the food and the blade to prevent sticking
The Nakiri knife is perfect for neatly chopping vegetables, but you can also use it to cut fruit or cheese. It is an excellent all-around knife that any great chef should have in her collection.
