    • Perfection!
Size: 5.5" Color: Brown
I’ve never used a Nakiri before. I ordered one from another brand whose knives I love. But it had a slight curve to the edge so returned it and bought this one. This feels amazing! Perfectly balanced for me, sharp, and is a perfect knife for all my veggies! Did I need a Nakiri? Of course not—my chef’s knives and santoku work fine. But this feels so so so good to use!! And that flat bottom edge with the dull tip is great! ... show more

    • so sharp.....
Size: 5.5" Color: Brown
We've never used a nakiri before--just a santaku and chef's knives for vegetables, fish and meat. I thought my knives were pretty sharp, but I think I could lop off a digit with this knife and not feel it until I saw the blood. The 5 1/2" blade is perfect for our use. I think 7" could be too much. The fit and finish is perfect and it feels balanced and very comfortable in the hand. I bought it as a birthday present for me, but my wife gets to it first. ... show more

    • I think it is a Hattori Hanzō from Kill Bill which is awesome.
Size: 5.5" Color: Brown
This is a unique knife and my wife's favorite new go-to over the santoku ones weve used for years. Got it as a gift for the wife who likes to cook. We pamper these, and keep them on display. Hand wash immedicaly after use, dry, and put back in block. We treat them with extra care. They are great looking and razor sharp. Definatley a step up from henkles and cuisinearts we have at home tossed in a drawer. ... show more

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. ... show more

    • Fantastic knife
Size: 5.5" Color: Brown
Very sharp, as expected, out of the box. This nakiri pattern knife is great for vegetable prep. Bought to compliment our growing collection of premier line knives the have made a believer out of my wife. Free sharpening is worth a lot in concept, although I don’t have any experience with it on our knives. ... show more

    • Awesome vegetable knife
Size: 5.5" Color: Brown
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. ... show more
