I have been eyeing a nakiri (and santoku) for a while. Being an amateur home cook, it's hard to justify the price of these knives, however I decided to not wait anymore and make this a me-gift. Using my nakiri takes food prep to a new level. I have not developed the same speed as I do with my chef knife, so it's taking me a (cautious) learning curve to get used to this type of blade, and it's extreme sharpness makes what was my sharpest knife before, look dull. Super happy with my purchase and looking forward to further growing my knife handling skills
I have always tried to keep my knives sharpened to make cooking easier. I have never had a knife like this! This knife makes chopping and cutting so much more enjoyable.
I used this knife at my brother's house and kept thinking of it once I was home using my knives. So, I decided to pay the cost and I'm glad I did. It's such a joy to use and it is worth the price tag!
Best knives I have had the pleasure of owning! One word that comes to mind is precision. Not many knives come close to a Shun! They are gorgeous, razor sharp, well balanced. It's a great addition to any kitchen. Weather it's a home kitchen or a commercial kitchen, this knife is sure to be your new favorite. Thank you Shun! Keep up the great work!
