Product Description
Wusthof Gourmet Nakiri Vegetable Knife with Hollow Edge: Kitchen & Dining. Compression triple rivets attach the high-impact handle securely to the full tang for superior balance and maneuverability. The Gourmet Nakiri Knife from Wusthof combines the features of a chef's knife with the versatility of a vegetable cleaver. The Granton-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 Granton 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. Laser cut in Solingen, Germany, from a single piece of high-carbon no-stain steel, the knife features a full tang with compression rivets to secure the high-impact handle for superior balance and maneuverability. Hand washing is recommended for best care. From the Manufacturer Gourmet Series View larger.

Types of Blades The Right Blade for Every Purpose The edge is the business end of a knife. It is skillfully honed by hand and incredibly sharp. For different cutting tasks different blade shapes and edges are recommended. The Differences: Straight-edge blade: The straight edge allows a smooth and clean cut. When carving no fibres are torn out of the meat. This edge can be used for firm and soft food like meat, vegetables and fruit. Serrated-edge blade: The wavy or serrated edge allows an easy cut through crusty food like a traditional roast and crispy bread. Hollow-edge blade: When cutting an air pocket is created between the hollow edge and the slice. This prevents the food from sticking to the blade and allows for finer slices. Laser technology cuts steel into precise shapes. View larger. Modern Manufacturing With modern manufacturing techniques, Wusthof is using laser cutting to craft its stamped knives. Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to cut steel in precise shapes. Laser cutting works by directing the output of a high-power laser, by computer, at the steel being cut. The material then burns away, leaving an edge with a high-quality surface finish. The remaining processes are similar to the manufacturing of forged knives. Automated steps ensure precise results. View larger. The Nakiri Knife that chops and slices vegetables, fruits and meats with record speed and unprecedented precision. Unlike any other blade on the market, the edge is angled on both sides for quickest, easiest slicing and chopping. The qualities of a chef's knife and versatility of a Japanese cleaver are refined with a balanced blade that is 30% sharper and holds its edge 30% longer than ordinary Asian-style blades. Slices meats deli-thin for sandwiches, creates strips for stir-frying and fajitas and quickly trims uniform chunks for stews and soups.
