[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very versatile knife that is lightweight. At first glance I was thinking it would be too heavy for me, but actually is easier to handle than expected. Easily sliced ginger. This is my first Miyabi purchase and I am very pleased.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well balanced and so sharp. Perfect for making paper thin slices of vegetables. This will be my go to knife.
Very sharp out of the box, looks good and has a good feel (same as all the knives in this line). Cutting vegetable and fruits is very easy and the control with the knife makes it easy to have consistent size. Only reason it isn’t a 5 star is I haven’t used it enough to justify that rating.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Knife works amazingly well, it made chopping squash soo easy like cutting butter. Generally chopping squash is extremely difficult but knife made the difference in the world
Ive been looking at Nakiris for a while but havent been able to find the one that was just right. I love that this has a traditional western style handle. Way more comfortable for me than the rounded ones. The steel is very high quality but also light. The Japanese craftsmanship is evident throughout. I love the little touches like the watermarking along the edge just like a traditional Katana blade. The thinness of the blade gives great slices and stays sharp for such a long time.
The Nakiri is quickly becoming one of my favorite knives to use in the kitchen due to the versatility of the blade profile. You can use the santoku on meat, poultry and vegetables, but it really shines when chopping vegetables and will find that it is easy work with the three-rivet handle which fits perfectly in the hand. This knife is sharp and will retain it sharpness due to the FC61 steel and the special ice-hardening process
I had not heard of a nakiri knife until recently and I don't know what I did before I got this great knife! I cook vegetarian a lot and this knife is great to get through all the vegetables that I cut up every night. I also love the wide blade that makes it easy for me to transfer the vegetables from the cutting board to the pan with ease. The handle is super comfortable and the knife is very sharp.
