This Pro 6.5" nakiri have the same feature of a vegetable cleaver knife. Nakiri is about the size of a 7" Pro vegetable cleaver though slightly narrower blad, its purpose is the same. Both knife has curved bolster encourages cutting with improved precision, safety and comfort. Upon cutting food, blade is useful in scooping from the cutting board. Great for cutting meat, vegetables, fruits and even bread and cake. This knife is forged from a single piece of Special Formula High-Carbon NO STAIN stainless steel, durable, Ice-hardened FRIODUR blade and resilient.
Eastern style with German engineering! The Nakiri style is perfect for lots of chopping. It preforms like a cleaver ..only lighter and easier to handle. The innovative bolster makes this knife comfortable to grip and use for a long period of time. This knife has some heft!! Perfectly sharp, and well balanced. Great knife to add to your Pro collection.
I'm a huge fan of the Pro line. Love the curved bolster, since I hold the knife up on the blade. The nakiri is great for chopping, slicing and dicing. The blade is not curved like the chef, so feels a little different, but I am enjoying it.
This Pro nakiri is a fantastic value! Feel like a professional in your own kitchen while you chop and mince with this nakiri. The signature Pro curved bolster and ergonomic handle allows for the most comfortable pinch grip and that blade will stay incredibly sharp for a long time.
This is a perfect marriage of the quality and design. A nakiri should be sturdy, stable and the Pro line steel is just that. This high quality, German, stainless steel blade will hold up for a lifetime. And requires little maintenance, just weekly honing (see the 2-stage sharpeners if you are timid about honing) and at most, an annual sharpening.
It has an angled bolster, a new design features that matches the grip of professional chef's. It keeps the thumb and forefinger in the correct position for maximum control.
This vegetable cleaver is not as daunting in size to other style cleavers, but still gets the job done of cutting through big pieces of meat and produce with little effort needed. It has a nice weight to it and the curved bolster really helps with gripping this style blade. A great addition to any kitchen.
Great Rockwell hardness knife but the strange cut of the tang didn't let it fit the block of guy pro S knives. The end of the handle wasn't smooth with the metal tang and plastic like the pro S ones are. The metal protruded and its sharp so it catches you hand. Contacting Zwilling. Else the knife is great!
