HENCKELS Classic Christopher Kimball Edition 6.5 Nakiri Knife, German-Engineered Professional Cutlery

Chef Christopher Kimball, a friend of the real home cook, has taught cooking for over three decades on national TV and radio, as well as in award-winning cookbooks and magazines. The vast experience of this culinary expert is the core of the Christopher Kimball Edition collection - expertly designed knives for everyday cooking.

The Nakiri Knife, part of this collection, is ideal for slicing, dicing, and chopping large fruits and vegetables. Its sharp, slender blade produces beautifully thin cuts and precise juliennes. With the wide, rectangular blade of a cleaver and the versatility of a chef's knife, this traditional Japanese vegetable cleaver is an essential tool for discerning chefs. Professional chefs around the world trust the tradition and quality of these impressive knives.

Whether you're a master chef or just learning your way around the kitchen, the Christopher Kimball Edition offers the very best series and collections to choose from. These knives will not stain, chip, or lose their sharpness easily. Honed and hand-finished by the most skilled artisans, the laser-controlled edge is the sharpest you'll find. The bolster provides the right balance while acting as a safe finger guard. Weighing in at less than 1 lb, slicing through meat and bread alike is effortless.

This Nakiri Knife is the perfect tool for a culinary artisan creating a restaurant-style dish or a family making a delicious, chopped salad. Complete your collection by pairing this with one of our self-sharpening block sets, a steak knife set, kitchen scissors, or a single knife such as a carving, paring, or butcher knife (sold separately).

The knives in the Christopher Kimball Edition are made in Spain with German craftsmanship. Each of the classic blades is made from an original, proprietary, special formula steel that has been perfected for almost 300 years. The unrivaled quality and superior resistance of these knives ensure they will last for years. Precision-forged from a single piece of solid steel, SIGMAFORGE knives have an exceptionally sturdy, balanced, and flexible blade.

The excellent edge retention of these knives is combined with ZWILLING's signature ice-hardening technique, making the FRIODUR blades harder and sharper than competitors' products. The ergonomic, polypropylene handle is permanently bonded to the blade, giving a seamless and gap-free grip that is comfortable and natural to hold. Weighing only 1 lb, these knives are easy on the wrists.

For easy care, these knives are dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended. Use warm water and soap, then rinse and pat dry. They can be conveniently stored in a knife block or paper sheath (not included).
