WICKWILLOW Nakiri Knife

A Nakiri knife features a straight, double-beveled blade specifically designed for chopping, slicing, and dicing vegetables. Unlike a chef's knife, it lacks a pointed tip, allowing for clean, full-contact cuts through produce without the need for a rocking motion.

To maintain the integrity of the olive wood, hand wash the knife with mild soap and dry it immediately. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil or wood wax will help prevent the handle from drying out or cracking over time.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. High heat, harsh detergents, and the abrasive environment of a dishwasher can damage the wooden handle and dull the precision-forged steel edge.

14C28N Swedish steel is highly regarded for its balance of hardness and corrosion resistance. With a Rockwell hardness of 60±2, it holds a very sharp edge for a long time, making it an excellent choice for frequent vegetable prep.

This Nakiri knife is forged to be rigid. This stiffness is intentional, as it provides the stability needed for precise, straight cuts through dense vegetables like carrots or sweet potatoes.

Yes, the knife arrives with a razor-sharp, factory-honed edge ready for immediate use. We recommend using a honing steel or a fine-grit whetstone periodically to maintain that sharpness as you use it.
