VÖRDA Vegetable knife, black, 16 cm

"With VÖRDA I wanted to make a series of knives with a good combination of function and appearance. One of the places that's obvious is in the handle that has a material and a shape that make it comfortable and easy to grip. It was also important to me to make the knives in high quality re-sharpenable steel - so they can be used every day for a long time."

VÖRDA is the right choice if you're looking for hard-wearing knives with a good grip. The full, rounded handles ensure that the knives sit firmly in your hand. The knives are also ergonomically designed to support your hand and wrist. And the stainless steel blades make them easy to clean.

Stainless steel is found in everything from building structures and cars to sinks and knives. It’s easy to see why it has so many uses. Stainless steel is hard and durable and has good resistance to corrosion – namely rust. It generally has a low nickel content, and for IKEA products we mainly use stainless steel that’s nickel-free. Like many other metals, it can be recycled again and again to become new, hardwearing things – without losing its valuable properties.
