Lucy's Verdict

A better vegetable specialist with a clear point of difference: zwilling gives this category a controlled german feel, with ice-hardened steel and practical geometry rather than chasing extreme hardness.

Lucy · Head of Curation

Why we chose it

We included it because a true vegetable specialist should improve board contact, knuckle clearance and prep speed — not simply look Japanese. The 17 cm Pro Nakiri is the vegetable specialist in the Zwilling line-up: broad, flat-edged and designed around repeated board contact. The 17 cm blade gives useful vegetable coverage while keeping the flat-edged format nimble.

Who it's best for

Buy it if you want a vegetable specialist mainly for fast vegetable prep, herbs and clean full-board cuts; you naturally use straight up-and-down chopping and push cuts; you want German durability with a controlled, ergonomic feel. Pro Nakiri is the recommendation when those priorities line up.
