Updated 2 days ago · Based on the Amazon listing and published specifications, not hands-on testing.
A German-made vegetable knife with a straight, hollow-ground blade for chopping and slicing produce. The listing contradicts itself on forged versus stamped construction, so do not buy on that point.

Overview
A home cook who prepares vegetables every day gets a straight-edged nakiri here, with a hollow edge that helps slices fall away from the blade. The synthetic handle is designed for a comfortable grip.
A straight edge and a seven inch blade suit chopping, dicing and slicing vegetables, and the description adds fruit. Hand washing is the realistic care routine, because the listing does not recommend the dishwasher.
Who it's for
Home cooks, vegetarians and anyone batching salad or stir-fry prep who values a tall, flat blade. Cooks who rely on a dishwasher or want one knife for every task should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Hollow edge helps slices release
- Full tang for balance
- Lifetime warranty against defects
- Easy-care synthetic handle
- Dishwasher not recommended
- Listing conflicts on forged or stamped
- Flat edge limits rocking cuts
Performance notes
A flat cutting edge meets the board along its whole length, so each stroke is a straight down push instead of a rocking cut. The hollow scallops reduce the suction between blade and vegetable. A full tang carries the weight back toward the handle for balance.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Wusthof Gourmet nakiri need any assembly?
No. The title describes a one-piece full-tang knife, so there is nothing to install. The listing does not give sharpening angles.
Can the Wusthof 4195-7 go in the dishwasher?
The description says dishwasher not recommended, so hand wash it.
Is the Wusthof 4195-7 a meat cleaver?
No. Despite the cleaver label in the description, it is sold as a nakiri vegetable knife for slicing, dicing and chopping.
