  • A pleasure to handle
I love these knives. So sharp I can shave onions with them. Esthetically a delight. Best prep knife I have ever had. I have been gradually acquiring a complete set and no one else is allowed to use my Shun knives.

Mostly I love the quality and care of the knife and the incredible sharpe edge. The feel of the knife will tell you a lot. It is expensive, but for a handmade knife will last a lifetime.

  • Get the right blade size for your hand.
This knife had replaced my handmade chef knife as my favorite and most used. I have small hands and it feels comfortable. I tried larger sizes before settling on this one. Very sharp! Holds an edge very well. I highly recommend.

  • Super sharp
It's so sharp out of the box you could probably shave with it. I prefer Nakiri knives to chef's knives or the larger Chinese meat cleaver styles. This one is particularly light and easy to use.

  • Beautiful and Sharp!
This knife is a very nice specimen of the Nakiri design. The gorgeous ambidextrous handle fits in hand like a glove, the hammered blade comes razor sharp and stays sharp with a minimum of effort. Fruits, vegetables, and herbs are a breeze to chop - I often use mine like a Chinese chef's knife as it also slices meats with ease. Meal prep is fun with this knife - handles like a Ferrari! ... show more
