WÜSTHOF Classic Nakiri Knife – Hollow Edge Vegetable Cleaver for Ultra-Thin Slices

With its broad, straight-edged blade and razor-sharp PEtec edge, this Nakiri—also known as an Usuba knife—is designed for effortless chopping, dicing, and paper-thin slicing of produce, herbs, and even boneless meats.

💎 WÜSTHOF Classic Series – The Gold Standard in Forged Cutlery

Every WÜSTHOF Classic knife is precision-forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, ensuring optimal sharpness, balance, and edge retention. The X50 CrMoV15 alloy provides excellent resistance to staining, pitting, and wear over time.

Steel Composition Breakdown:

• X = Stainless Steel

• 50 = 0.5% Carbon – For long-lasting sharpness

• Cr = Chromium (15%) – For stain and rust resistance

• Mo = Molybdenum – Improves strength

• V = Vanadium – Enhances hardness and edge retention

The synthetic handle is triple-riveted and seamlessly attached to the full tang, offering ergonomic grip and food-safe construction 🧼.
