CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Wusthof Gourmet 7" Nakiri Hollow Edge is a precise, vegetable-prepping workhorse built for speed, control, and clean cuts every time. Inspired by traditional Japanese designs, this blade is engineered for slicing, dicing, and chopping everything from leafy greens to dense root vegetables with absolute ease. It’s not made for brute-force cutting or breaking down bones—instead, the Nakiri is all about finesse and fast, repeatable slicing where every detail matters.
Forged from high-carbon stainless steel, the 7-inch blade holds an incredibly sharp edge and resists corrosion, staining, and dulling even through heavy daily use. The hollow edge—lined with small, precisely cut indentations—forms air pockets between the blade and the food, reducing drag and preventing vegetables from sticking. That means smoother cuts, less waste, and faster prep work whether you’re dealing with onions, zucchini, or delicate herbs.
The blade's thin profile and wide shape make it ideal for scooping up ingredients after slicing, making your workflow more efficient on the cutting board. This is a knife built for chefs and home cooks who don’t want to fight with their tools, but instead want gear that works with them, seamlessly and reliably.
The handle is made of durable black synthetic material, contoured to fit naturally in the hand and secured with traditional rivets. It’s tough enough for years of service in busy kitchens and easy to clean for low-maintenance upkeep. Like every piece in the Wusthof Gourmet line, this Nakiri is laser-cut in Germany with the craftsmanship and quality that’s been a Wusthof hallmark for over two centuries.
If you prep a lot of vegetables and want a knife that glides through ingredients with precision and ease, the Wusthof Gourmet 7" Nakiri is a smart addition to your culinary setup. Order yours today from SMKW!
