Zwilling J. A. Henckels Gourmet Nakiri Knife 1002439

The Zwilling J.A. Henckels Gourmet Nakiri Knife is the perfect blend of German engineering, innovative technology, and traditional craftsmanship. Designed specifically for precise vegetable preparation, this 6.5-inch Nakiri excels at slicing, chopping, and dicing with unmatched sharpness and balance. Whether you’re a professional chef or an at-home cooking enthusiast, this knife delivers performance that elevates your kitchen experience.

The blade is forged from Zwilling’s proprietary special formula high-carbon NO STAIN steel, a material renowned for its durability, resistance to corrosion, and ability to hold a razor-sharp edge. Precision-stamped from a single piece of solid steel, this blade ensures seamless strength from heel to tip, making it both lightweight and highly resilient. Thanks to Zwilling’s legendary FRIODUR ice-hardening process, the blade not only starts sharper but stays sharper longer, offering superior resilience to daily wear and tear.

Measuring 6.5 inches, the blade length is ideal for a Nakiri, giving you the control and power you need to glide effortlessly through vegetables, herbs, and fruits. Its precision-honed edge with laser-controlled sharpness ensures the perfect cutting angle for maximum efficiency, delivering smooth, clean cuts every time. Whether you’re shredding cabbage, slicing cucumbers, or chopping herbs, this knife allows you to work with ease and confidence.

The traditional three-riveted handle with a full tang ensures balance, comfort, and stability in every cut. Crafted from highly durable POM (polyoxymethylene), the handle is resistant to fading, discoloration, and wear, making it perfect for both professional kitchens and home use. Stainless steel rivets secure the handle to the full tang, providing strength and balance, while the center rivet is laser-inscribed with the ZWILLING logo, signifying authenticity and attention to detail.

At 11.5 inches overall, this Nakiri knife has the perfect proportions for comfort and performance. Its lightweight construction reduces fatigue, while the ergonomic handle design allows for secure, confident cutting even during extended food prep sessions. Every element of the knife is engineered to provide the ideal balance between blade and handle, ensuring effortless control for cooks of all skill levels.

What truly sets this knife apart is the combination of Zwilling’s centuries-old heritage with modern manufacturing techniques. Made in Germany, a country with a world-renowned tradition of knife making, the Gourmet Nakiri Knife reflects Zwilling’s commitment to quality and innovation. Each knife is produced to the highest standards, ensuring that it not only performs beautifully out of the box but also stands the test of time in your kitchen.
