I've never had a Nakiri Knife before. I eliminated all my Henckels knives that had black plastic handles. I'm trying to eliminate as much plastic from my kitchen as possible. I chose this gorgeous knife for a few reasons: First was the wooden handle. No more plastic handles for me. Secondly was the shape of the handle. Very ergonomic for my arthritic hands. Third was the beautiful craftsmanship. This is incredibly sharp and makes cutting vegetables so quick and easy. This wasn't inexpensive, but it will last me the rest of my life.

I was turned on to these knives by my wife. Now I need to get a bigger magnetic board to hold our set (as it is not all that we want yet. Very nice price point, excellent quality, easy to care for. Holds an edge very well. Excellent performance, feels good in both my hands and my wife’s. The first three have held up amazingly well as we have had them for quite some time. We are gradually replacing all of cooking knives. Highly recommended.

I will confess that this Shun Nakiri Damascus layered Knife was not by any means cheap, but I don't have my own teeth and I needed something SHARP to chop my veggies and other chewy stuff. This knife fits the bill. It will chop leafy lettuce all by itself which is something that no knife I owned could do without sending stuff flying off the cutting board. After using one at my daughters place in SC I had to have one. This knife will, with a cleaver action on a cutting board, finely chop the likes of rogain leaves, kale and spinach and nothing flies about, just gets chopped. Don't even need to hold the leafy stuff you are chopping which for me is a great safety factor. I've heard that the handle is too small. You really don't need to man handle this knife. It's sharp enough to do most anything without a heavy hand. Here it is shown cutting leftover prime rib using only the weight of the knife alone which is a mere 4 ounces. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI-nRkb_8RQ Revised and updated because I just bought the Premier Sumo Santoku TDM0743S knife which has a stand. It is prominently displayed on my kitchen bar and it is just as sharp as my Nakiri Shun but is heavier to make use of the weight of the knife itself to aid in cutting. I can shave pork loin to make it tender as a marshmallow for sandwiches (with kraut of course). Love both of these knives. Just make sure you have a good cutting surface. Those complaining about the knife going dull or chipping might be using the counter top for a cutting board. Use a simple plastic mat or an actual maple board.

Excellent knife, razor sharp out of the box. I use it 10 hours a week prepping vegetables in a busy restaurant and its been nothing short of amazing. Durable, doesn't stain and have only needed to sharpen it once in almost a year. Absolutely do recommend for home or professional use

I previously had a Shun Premier 7" Santoku and a 4" pairing knife and it appeared that some sellers were clearing out some of their Shun Premier line so I expanded. This particular knife I went back and forth on whether I should get it or not. I'm a fairly serious carnivore so the concept of having a dedicated vegetable knife was an uncertainty, especially considering that my Santoku has a nearly flat blade. I decided to bite the bullet when a very low price came by and I am glad I did. This thing is completely worth it because it completely cuts vegetables with one slice rather than leaving a strand hanging if I don't to a very exaggerated forward motion at the end to get a non-flat blade to go through. Shun of course makes very sharp knifes and looks great. I doubt they are the pinnacle of knives, but they work great for me. I have them professionally sharpened once a year regardless of how well I think they are holding up. You can do the one handed tomato slice with this knife when it's sharp.

I have been on the hunt for a new knife for a while, having got hooked on the Global GS5 years ago and wanting a second similar knife for the kitchen for busy days. Recently I have been reading a lot about various knife makes, European and Japanese, ceramic and steel, and got pointed in the direction of Wusthof- a mid-range German knife with good reviews that compare it favourably with much more expensive Japanese knives like Global, Shun, etc. however I wasn't at all happy with the Wusthof santoku knife I tried so I continued looking and finally took the plunge and bought the Shun Nakiri. I live in the UK and Amazon.com had the best price, even after delivery and import costs, for this knife- the equivalent of around $150. It arrived this afternoon and I got it out and gave it a go. Immediately it is a huge improvement over the Wusthof and maybe slightly better than the Global it was bought to offer an alternative to. Needless to say I am over the moon. I don't mind paying this much for a good knife that I will use on a daily basis at all, even if others in my family think I'm crazy! The cost of other knives in the set is a set-back, however, as I would be reluctant to spend the same amount on the 4-inch paring knife I have my eye on, or over $200 after duty, etc for the 6-inch santoku which I could easily find room for in my kitchen. If the santoku was the same price as this I would buy it in a second, and if the paring knife was around $70 I'd have that to. At the moment though this beauty will have to do, until it's time for another treat at which point I will definitely look to Shun again. You really get what you pay for with knives in my experience. So if you have the money and are going to get the use out of this to justify it, you will not be disappointed.
