My idea of a nakiri knife

Just when you think it could not get any better, I stumbled into this Shun knife, and although i have a larger nakiri and an usuba knife, the nice size of this one really got my attention and once I worked with it, I was sold. This size is perfect for a lot of cutting work, which is a constant with me as I am living a plant-based lifestyle... It gives new meaning to the word sharp. I also loved the description in the manual of cutting in "locomotive style." That says it exactly. This knife is a keeper!
I attend the Culinary Institute of America where we are given a kit of knives for use in the kitchens. I prefer to use my Shun Premier Nakiri everyday in class because it is such a great knife. I plan on buying a Premier set once I graduate and begin working.
I purchased this Shun from Cutting Edge in Calgary. This is the second Japanese damascus knife in our kitchen. The appearance is breathtaking. The Pakwawood handle fits the hand beautifully allowing a effortless cutting action to slice or trim vegetables in any style required. The hammered steel finish functions to prevent cheese or a heavy sausage from sticking to the blade. The blunt end, flat blade and high hand location are both safe and promote a smooth push pull cutting motion. This is a superb knife and taken care of will last a lifetime.
