HENCKELS Classic Christopher Kimball Edition Nakiri Knife

For over three decades, a friend of the real home cook, chef Christopher Kimball, has taught cooking on national TV and radio, as well as in award-winning cookbooks and magazines. His vast experience is the core of the Christopher Kimball Edition collection - expertly designed knives for everyday cooking. Whether you're a master chef or just learning your way around the kitchen, the company offers the very best series and collections to choose from.

The Nakiri Knife, part of this impressive collection, is ideal for slicing, dicing, and chopping large fruits and vegetables. Its sharp, slender blade produces beautifully thin cuts and precise juliennes. With the wide, rectangular blade of a cleaver and the versatility of a chef's knife, this traditional Japanese vegetable cleaver is an essential for discerning chefs. Professional chefs around the world trust the tradition and quality of these impressive knives.

These knives will not stain or chip, and they retain their sharpness longer. Honed and hand-finished by the most skilled artisans, the laser-controlled edge is the sharpest you'll find. The bolster provides the right balance while acting as a safe finger guard. Weighing in at less than 1 lb, slicing through meat and bread alike is effortless. This is the perfect knife for a culinary artisan creating a restaurant-style dish or a family making a delicious, chopped salad.

The Nakiri Knife is made in Spain, with German craftsmanship. Each of the classic blades is made from an original, proprietary, special formula steel that has been perfected for almost 300 years. The unrivaled quality and superior resistance last for years, as the precision-forged, single piece of solid steel provides an exceptionally sturdy, balanced, and flexible blade.

The excellent edge retention of these knives is combined with ZWILLING's signature ice-hardening technique, making the FRIODUR blades harder and sharper than competitors' products. The ergonomic, polypropylene handle is permanently bonded to the blade, giving a seamless and gap-free grip that is comfortable and natural to hold.

To care for these knives, they are dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended. Use warm water and soap, then rinse and pat dry. They are easy to store in a knife block or paper sheath (not included). Complete your collection by pairing this Nakiri Knife with one of the company's self-sharpening block sets, a steak knife set, kitchen scissors, or a single knife such as a carving, paring, or butcher knife (sold separately).
