The Miyabi Koh Nakari knife has everything I was looking for in a kitchen knife. Made in Seki Japan, the pakkawood handle feels great and is extremely comfortable. The FC61 steel exceeds all expectations. Easy to sharpen and holds an edge much longer than some of my other knives. The Nakari style knife has a nice wide blade, which is great for scooping up chopped vegetables. Very versatile can chop, slice, mince and dice effortlessly. I've almost completely eliminated using my chef's knife since I purchased this knife. Once you use it, there's no going back!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife is a well crafted, sharp and precise blade. Cuts are performed easily due to its weight and nice feel in your hand. It does it’s job very well and looks great too! Overall a five star knife for sure.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the shape and how sharp it is. It’s kind of the universal knife for me so far though I have several others from the same line. Can’t wait to cut more!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome, high quality knife.The handle is very comfortable. Cant wait to chop alllllll of the veggies with it :-)
I love everything about this knife. The handle has such a unique look accented with a nice mosaic pin. It is very comfortable to hold. The Japanese blade has a very thin profile giving accurate thin cuts and slices. The steel goes through a double hardening process ensuring a durable chip resistant thin cutting edge. It is very easy to maintain the sharpness as well. The blade goes through the traditional Honbazuke sharpening process and features the traditional Katana style watermarking just above the cutting edge. A great example of Japanese craftsmanship.
This is such a unique knife and I am so happy I found it because it makes cutting vegetables so much easier than a chef's knife because of the wide blade. The handle is very comfortable and I feel like I can get a good grip on it because it is an octagon shape.
