Finally got to use this sharp looking knife. It is well balanced and extremely efficient to use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was looking for a good knife in this kind of shape for a long time, and I am glad I buy this! I started use this knife right after I received it, very sharp even without sharpening, light weight. Now I use it every single day. My favorite knife ever!

Regarding person who thought this "hurt her hand" - I have a Shun nakiri, this one, and a Chinese carbon steel one from my mother. I thought the rounded Shun handle would be more comfortable, but the Zwilling handle is actually more to my liking. Also, the Shun has more "heft" but I like the Zwilling better. Finally, both the Shun and Zwilling (and many knives today, I've noted) are sharp on the back of the blade, so if you switch to style of cutting where you grab the blade itself, it does get uncomfortable. I've taken a fine sanding disk to both sides of the top back edge of the blade and that's solved it. And what a deal!

I've have the nakiri for a couple of days now. I own the twin gourmet 8" chef's knife, and a Victorinox 8-inch chef's knife too.
This knife is crazy Sharp. It's life's the block of pecorino Romano cheese fairly easily. I used it on an assortment of vegetables. I really like the knife. I also like how the blade has a lot of areas so I can scoop up what I just chopped easily, sort of like using a dough scraper.
Like I said, I've only had the knife a few days. I don't find it uncomfortable to use. I generally use the pinch grip. And have had no issues thus far.

I have some of the Henkel(cheaper version on zwilling) knives and one zwilling. My cheaper knives hurt my hand bc the handles aren’t polished very well. The metal cuts me. Anyway, I bought this one thinking I was getting a great deal. A superior knife for the cheaper price. Unfortunately, it’s the same handle as my cheaper knives and the handle immediately cut into my handle.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for taking the time to review your recent purchase. We are sorry that this handle style does not work for you. Your grip may be better suited to one of our more ergonomic, rivet-less handles, like those on the Four Star/Four Star II styles. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have another opportunity to serve you better.
