Held its edge well, full tang is nice but I wish the handle had a little more meat to it. Stands up well to professional use.

Not sharp
on October 4, 2020

Very disappointed with recent purchase of this popular Nakiri style knife. Knife isn't sharp at all! It actually crushes instead of slicing soft vegetable. Handle isn't user friendly either, not a good hand feel with slightly rough wood and sharp edges. Prefer my Shun classic handles.

Great balance. Cuts well. Tends to grab board if collecting cut material. Handle is very comfortable.

Good slicer/vegetable knife.

Surprised by how sharp the knife was out of the box. Being an amateur knife-maker, I super-honed the edge a la Honbazuke method and got it even sharper. Like the fact that it is made out of AUS-10, I know this to be a good steel from my hunting knives.

Great knife. Good balance, exceptionally sharp. It's great for veggies, though I still need to use two knives to properly cut onions because this doesn't have a tip. I also feel saver leaving it on the counter for short periods of time than I do for my chef's knives.
Highly recommend.
