Zwilling knives are excellent in cutting performance and functionality. They slice, fillet and chop precisely and quickly. Since 1731 Zwilling has produced top-quality cutlery. Over the years the company has perfected steel selection, blade sharpening, hardening processes and handle manufacturing to deliver extremely sharp and long-lasting blades. Zwilling is the benchmark of excellence for premium cutlery. The Nakiri is of Asian origin and features a particularly wide blade and a high spine. Its wide blade and flat tip vaguely resemble a cleaver. However, a Nakiri should be used only for cutting vegetables — it is not suitable for meat and bones. Even beginners can use it to prepare large quantities of vegetables quickly and safely. Thanks to its unusual shape, the risk of injury is minimal. The Nakiri's wide blade also allows you to chop herbs and small ingredients and then scoop them up and transfer them to the pan.
