Nakari is a newer blade shape in the US (at least to me) so it's a perfect gift for someone who loves cooking and chopping and can appreciate a German made knife. It has a very sharp, wide blade that cuts through any vegetable with ease and is perfect for scooping into your bowl or pan. The handle is very comfortable, true to the traditional German knives. It's very light so hand fatigue is not an issue.
This is a simple and sharp nakiri that you will love adding to your knife assortment for all your chopping jobs. Made in Germany from specially formulated steel you will get a corrosion resistant blade that stay sharp use after use.
This is a great workhorse for vegetables. Cleanly cuts through hard tough root vegetables as well as thinly slices cucumbers, potatoes and tomotoes. Made from premium German steel this is a great value!
When a friend said I should get a Nikiri, i asked "why?" Versatility, sharpness, a million uses, easy to handle. I was not totally convinced, so thought I would try the Gourmet version. Happy to say, pleasant surprise! It's all true and I use this much more than expected. Also great alternative to the Chef or Santoku.
This Nakiri is narrower than the other Zwilling Nakiri's, so it can be used for almost any project you would use a 8" chef for. Ultra sharp - gets through even the toughest vegetables.
When a customer asked me, "what is the use of Nakiri knife?' My response is, "it is one of the most versatile knife you should have". Rather than using a wide vegetable cleaver, this Nakiri delivers the same function and stability in your hand.
