The Wüsthof Classic Nakiri Knife 17cm is a broad-bladed Asian-profile knife for controlled push cuts, fine slicing and efficient vegetable preparation.

Key Features

  • 17 cm blade sized for vegetables, boneless proteins and fine slicing
  • Fine straight edge
  • Precision-forged from a single piece of Wüsthof steel with a full tang and full bolster
  • Wüsthof stainless steel hardened to 58 HRC
  • Triple-riveted synthetic handle
  • Made in Solingen, Germany

Why Choose This Product

Choose this for precise, controlled board work and a flatter cutting action than a traditional Western chef's knife. The medium format balances quick control with enough blade face for efficient vegetable work. Within the Classic range, this model stands out for the benchmark Wüsthof line: planted, traditionally balanced and built for cooks who prefer a substantial forged knife.
Simply Hospitality Notes

This profile rewards controlled push cuts and a stable knife-friendly board. Avoid bones, frozen food and twisting cuts; the fine edge is designed for precision rather than impact.

Product Guide

Use a forward-and-down push cut and lift the blade cleanly between strokes. The broad face is useful for transferring prepared ingredients, but use the spine—not the edge—to move food across the board.

Brand Guide

About Wüsthof: Wüsthof has made knives in Solingen, Germany since 1814. Its collection ranges from lighter laser-cut Gourmet knives to precision-forged Classic, Ikon, Crafter, Performer and newer everyday lines, allowing cooks to choose by weight, handle feel and finish rather than brand name alone. Quality edges should be hand washed, dried immediately and maintained regularly.

Product Details

The broad face gives useful knuckle clearance and can help transfer prepared ingredients, while the flatter edge profile rewards a controlled forward-and-down cutting action. The Classic specification pairs precision-forged from a single piece of Wüsthof steel with a full tang and full bolster and triple-riveted synthetic handle to shape balance, durability and maintenance in daily use.
