Description

Every Wusthof Classic Series knife is still forged from one piece of specially tempered high carbon steel to ensure outstanding strength, balance and heft. The blades are formed with the perfect balance of high-carbon steel and a stain-resistant alloy so they retain their edge longer and are easier to resharpen. The blade is ground and polished by computer, ensuring perfect tapering from bolster to tip, and the edge is then hand honed for precision slicing. The sturdy feel of this knife is achieved by the weighted bolster, which is considered to be Wusthof's signature feature. The tang runs through the synthetic handle and is secured with three rivets.

The Classic Nakiri Knife from Wusthof combines the features of a chef's knife with the versatility of a vegetable cleaver. The hollow-edge blade, angled on both sides for slicing and chopping, is 30% sharper and holds its edge 30% longer than ordinary Asian-style blades. The no-stick hollow edge makes a cut that forms air pockets, allowing food to release easier from the blade. Meats will cut deli-thin for sandwiches, or for stir-frying. When it comes to chopping, slicing and mincing fresh produce, this professional knife is a true champion. Shaped like a slender cleaver, it performs impeccably on everything from summer tomatoes to winter squashes.

Engineered in the style of cutlery used by Japanese chefs for centuries, this Wusthof 5-inch santoku slices meats deli-thin for sandwiches, creates strips for stir fry or fajitas and quickly trims uniform pieces for stews and soups. Precision-forged from of a single piece of Wusthof's own high-carbon stainless-steel, this is the knife every seasoned chef prefers in the kitchen. Precision bolster allows cutting and sharpening along the entire edge, and use of the full blade heel. Triple compression rivets attach the high-impact handle securely to the full tang for superior balance and maneuverability.
