Kiso 7" Nakiri Knife 菜切り包丁

got this for my dad for his birthday since hes been into asian cooking. he said it cuts pretty well but the handle has a weird seam on it that you can feel, like not the best qc for the price. its a decent nakiri but I think next time i'll save up for something a little nicer. not bad, just not wowing either.

its okay I guess? looks nice and the blade is sharp enough out of the box but for 70 bucks I was expecting more. feels a little lightweight which I know is a preference thing but it just doesnt have that solid feel my old henckel has. cuts veg fine I just dont see a huge difference from cheaper knives I own.

So I finally upgraded from my old German knife for veg prep and wow what a difference this makes. The blade is crazy sharp right out of the box like it glides through onions and carrots with zero effort. Its got some heft to it but in a good way feels balanced in my hand. Been using it almost daily for a month now and still razor sharp. The handle is comfortable too nice wood grain on it. Definitely my go-to knife now for chopping veggies.

Got this for myself as a treat and it's a solid knife overall. Cuts vegetables beautifully, especially onions and peppers. The blade shape is great for chopping without having to rock the knife. My only small complaint is it's a tiny bit heavier than I thought it would be coming from my old cheap knife. Not a dealbreaker though, just took a few days to get used to the weight. Would recommend it if you do a lot of veggie prep.

So I've had this knife for about a month now and honestly it's my favorite kitchen tool. The blade is razor sharp right out of the box, cuts through carrots like they're butter. I was a little worried about the AUS10 steel since I usually get German knives but the edge retention is really impressive. The handle feels nice in my hand too, not too slippery even when my hands are wet. Makes my weekly veggie prep so much faster.

So I've been using this nakiri for about a month now and its become my go-to for almost everything. I do a lot of stir fry so I'm dicing onions, carrots, bell peppers constantly. The flat blade lets you do that rock chop thing but its also great for just straight up and down cuts. I washed it by hand and dried it right away and it hasn't lost any sharpness yet. The handle is a little different than what I'm used to but after like 2 days it felt natural. Would buy again if I needed a second one.

Got this for my wife because shes always been a veggie prep monster and wanted something nicer than our old beat up knives. First thing I noticed was the weight feels really balanced in the hand. She chopped through a whole butternut squash without it sticking at all. The edge is crazy sharp out of the box I honestly nicked myself on the first wash cause I wasn't careful. For 70 bucks this thing is a steal compared to the $150 Shuns we looked at.

Great knife for the price. I use it almost every day, mostly for vegetables. The blade is super thin so it cuts really clean, doesn't crush tomatoes or anything. Handle shape is comfortable for my grip. Arrived really well packaged, no issues.

My old santoku was getting dull so I got this. Its a lot better for chopping herbs and dicing onions. The steel seems really high quality.

Ok so I'm not a pro chef but I cook a lot. This knife makes me feel like one. So precise and easy to control. Worth it.

Ok so I was a little nervous buying a knife online but this one is legit. It's super sharp out of the box, I used it to make a big pot of stew and it made quick work of all the carrots and potatoes. The steel seems really high quality, it's got a nice weight to it without being too heavy. Definitely a massive upgrade.

Really nice knife overall, cuts beautifully. My only thing is I wish the handle was a tiny bit thicker, it's a little slim for my big hands so I have to grip it a little tighter than I'd like. Still, it's sharp and looks great, I use it all the time.

This knife is a beast. I've been using it for a month now and it still slices through tomatoes like they're not even there. The handle feels really solid in my hand, not cheap at all.

So I got this to replace my old dull chef's knife for veggies and wow. The edge on this thing is insane, it just glides through onions and peppers like nothing. I've had it for a month now and it still feels brand new, haven't had to sharpen it at all. Handle feels really solid in my hand too.

Got this to replace my old dull chef's knife and wow. The difference is night and day. Chopping onions used to make me cry now its just a quick chop chop and done.

Birthday present for my wife who's the real cook in the house. She loves it. Says it's her new favorite knife for prepping salads.

This knife is a pleasure to use, with sharpness and design that make every cut easy.

This knife is a solid performer. It’s sharp and sturdy, and the handle provides a good grip, making it easy to work with. The blade is great for all sorts of tasks, from slicing vegetables to cutting through meat, though it does need regular sharpening to maintain its performance. The handle is comfortable, but I think it could benefit from a slightly more ergonomic design for better long-term use. Despite these minor issues, it’s a great knife that’s become an essential tool in my kitchen.
