Ratings & Reviews for Zwilling Pro 6.5inch Nakiri Knife

Arrived in damaged box

Arrived in damaged cardboard box. Plastic box holding knife was also damaged. Since it’s a gift, I called support to have a new one sent out (the first took about a week) and was told the next would take 6 weeks. They would not rush ship it which was surprising considering it was an error the supplier side, not consumer.

Like Santoku Knives? You'll love a Nakiri

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well weighted, and easy to use for cutting vegetables. I first fell in love with a 5" Santoku knife, this one is certainly one ups the Santoku. Now I have two favorite vegetable cutting knives!

Asian cuisine here I come!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been oogling the Pro set of proper knives (western) and Asian knives. I really enjoy using this knife for chopping vegetables to herbs. makes everything much more fun with exceptional tools.

Hefty yet very agile

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great, multi-use knife that feels like the 1st officer to the captain (which is my 8" chef's knife). The blade is thicker and the handle has heft, making it a workhorse for cutting such foods like pineapples, butternut squash and root vegetables. A beautiful and unique addition to a curated collection of everyday use knives!

Great combo blade

I have wanted a Nakiri knife but I do not like the typical D shaped handle you find on them. I was already a fan of the Zwilling Pro line and was very excited when they added a Nakiri option. The German forged blade is super strong and easy to maintain like all Pro blades. The acute angle of the blade gives nice thin straight slices and chops. I love that it still has the curved bolster like the rest of the line for optimal comfort and encouragement of the proper holding of the knife.

Best knife for chopping vegetables

I love using this knife to cut up vegetables because the wide blade makes it easy to chop and move food from the cutting board to the pan easily and with one trip. The handle is very comfortable to use and the metal is curved where the handles meets the blade so that I can grip the knife well.

Super Steel in Japanese Classic..

Zwilling's proprietary, centuries-old "no-stain nor chip" German stainless steel is then used to create this Japanese vegetable cleaver. It rocks and chops. Also has 45 degree bolster to aid in the pinch grip for comfort.

This slightly modified version of an Asian chef, called a Nakiri, offers the versatility and flat cutting edge of Japanese cutlery while utilizing the best of German Cutlery. A tougher steel, the balanced weight, and the comfort of an ambidextrous handle make this blend of east meets west knife a winner.

I love this line because their knives are so balanced, and the curved bolster is perfect for a pinched grip. The Nakiri knife is wonderful for chopping!

A nakiri is a Japanese style knife used primarily for chopping vegetables. It is a thin blade that allows you to cut all the way through to the cutting board without having to us a horizontal push pull motion. The curved bolster provides a comfortable position for your thumb and forefinger to have the ultimate control. I love the perfectly balanced weight in each Pro series knife and the special steel is not only corrosion resistant but also retains its sharp edge longer and is chip and crack ...

I am growing fond of this Nakiri. I seem to grab it for all jobs in the kitchen. Made from German Special Formula Steel, also forged from one piece of steel its really durable, for a lifetime. Its also ice hardened so blade will stay sharper for a longer period of time. The blade is a little narrower than most Nakiri but that works to your benefit, you can almost use it as a chef knife and we know that knife does everything in a kitchen.

The Pro Nakiri knife is a great knife to have on hand for all kinds of chopping and even for the Western rocking motion. The Friodur process keeps the blade sharp and durable while also being stain-free and corrosion resistant. Made in Germany, so you know it has to be good!

Great Chopper

The Nakiri is an Asian style blade designed to chop like a cleaver but with much less weight. Although it's perfectly designed for the chopping cutting motion, it is easy to rock as well. Extremely versatile; a favorite of my sons who love to cook. Pro knives showcase the best innovation in kitchen knives, the curved bolster. The curved bolster allows you to grip the knife correctly with little thought. This pinch grip helps eliminate fatigue in your hand when cutting for long periods of ...

Best of both worlds this Nakiri gives you the Western handle and Eastern blade. The flat blade shape is great for chopping and dicing. Razor sharp!

Great knife, well balanced, comfortable to hold and easy to clean.

Meet Nakiri

A Nakiri is akin to the Chinese cleaver, but with a less broad blade. The Pro curved bolster makes for a smooth transition from handle to blade. Great balance, comfort, and excellent sharpness for precision cutting of vegetables.

Nakiri knives are like narrow vegetable cleavers. The Pro line of knives are made from premium German steel, ice-hardened for longer edge retention and corrosion resistance. The curved bolster really sets these knives apart from the competition. It makes the knife feel very comfortable in the hand when using the proper pinch grip and reduces wrist fatigue. Add all these attributes into a Japanese style knife and you have the perfect combination.
