Classic 6.5 Inch Nakiri Knife by HENCKELS, Inspired by Christopher Kimball, Japanese Vegetable Cleaver with German Engineering and Tempered Stainless Steel

Chef Christopher Kimball, a friend of the real home cook, has been teaching cooking for over three decades on national TV and radio, as well as in award-winning cookbooks and magazines. His vast experience is the foundation of the Christopher Kimball Edition collection - a range of expertly designed knives perfect for everyday cooking.

The Nakiri Knife is specifically designed for slicing, dicing, and chopping large fruits and vegetables. Its sharp, slender blade creates beautifully thin cuts and precise juliennes. Combining the wide, rectangular blade of a cleaver with the versatility of a chef's knife, this traditional Japanese vegetable cleaver is a must-have for discerning chefs. Professional chefs worldwide trust the tradition and quality of these impressive knives.

Whether you're a seasoned chef or just starting out in the kitchen, we offer a selection of top-tier series and collections to suit your needs. Our knives are resistant to staining and chipping, and maintain their sharpness for longer periods of time. Honed and hand-finished by skilled artisans, the laser-controlled edge of our knives is among the sharpest available. The bolster provides optimum balance while also serving as a safe finger guard. Weighing less than 1 lb, slicing through meat and bread effortlessly is a breeze with our knives. Whether creating a restaurant-style dish or a delicious chopped salad, this Nakiri Knife is the perfect tool for any culinary artisan or family cook.

Complete your collection by pairing the Nakiri Knife with one of our self-sharpening block sets, a set of steak knives, kitchen scissors, or individual knives such as carving, paring, or butcher knives (available separately).

Crafted in Spain with German craftsmanship, each Nakiri Knife is made from an original, proprietary steel formula that has been perfected over nearly 300 years. Our knives are known for their exceptional quality, superior resistance, and lasting durability, precision-forged from a single piece of solid steel. The SIGMAFORGE knives feature an exceptionally sturdy, balanced, and flexible blade.

With an incredibly sharp edge that boasts excellent retention, our knives are ice-hardened using ZWILLING's signature technique, making them harder and sharper than competitors' products. The ergonomic polypropylene handle is seamlessly bonded to the blade, providing a comfortable and natural grip that is easy on the wrists.

For care instructions, our knives are dishwasher safe but hand washing is recommended for longevity. Simply use warm water and soap to clean, then rinse and pat dry. Our knives can easily be stored in a knife block or paper sheath (not included).
