ShunCutlery Premier Grey Nakiri Knife 5.5", Ideal Chopping Knife for Vegetables and All-Purpose Chef Knife, Professional Nakiri Knife, Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knife

I’ve never used a Nakiri before. I ordered one from another brand whose knives I love. But it had a slight curve to the edge so returned it and bought this one. This feels amazing! Perfectly balanced for me, sharp, and is a perfect knife for all my veggies!Did I need a Nakiri? Of course not—my chef’s knives and santoku work fine. But this feels so so so good to use!! And that flat bottom edge with the dull tip is great!

This is a unique knife and my wife's favorite new go-to over the santoku ones weve used for years. Got it as a gift for the wife who likes to cook. We pamper these, and keep them on display. Hand wash immedicaly after use, dry, and put back in block. We treat them with extra care. They are great looking and razor sharp. Definatley a step up from henkles and cuisinearts we have at home tossed in a drawer.

We've never used a nakiri before--just a santaku and chef's knives for vegetables, fish and meat. I thought my knives were pretty sharp, but I think I could lop off a digit with this knife and not feel it until I saw the blood. The 5 1/2" blade is perfect for our use. I think 7" could be too much. The fit and finish is perfect and it feels balanced and very comfortable in the hand. I bought it as a birthday present for me, but my wife gets to it first.

What a wonderful chopping knife and extra special for small adult hands who want a knife that isn't heavy.

I was turned on to these knives by my wife. Now I need to get a bigger magnetic board to hold our set (as it is not all that we want yet. Very nice price point, excellent quality, easy to care for. Holds an edge very well. Excellent performance, feels good in both my hands and my wife’s.The first three have held up amazingly well as we have had them for quite some time. We are gradually replacing all of cooking knives. Highly recommended.

I love this knife, its easily my favorite in the block. It feels as though it stays sharp for ages, has excellent craftsmanship, and is supe comfy to use.Pros:high quality bladehigh quality handlebeautiful designcomfortablesharpCons:a little priceyVerdict:definitely recommended!

Very sharp, as expected, out of the box. This nakiri pattern knife is great for vegetable prep. Bought to compliment our growing collection of premier line knives the have made a believer out of my wife. Free sharpening is worth a lot in concept, although I don’t have any experience with it on our knives.

This knife has easily become my favorite on my roster. It’s extremely comfortable to hold and the sharpest thing that I’ve ever cut with. It holds it edge as if an ancient wizard cast a spell deterring it from becoming dull. I hope for every knife in my kitchen to be Shun Premiere in due time. You will never have more fun cutting tomatoes if you add this to your cutlery roster.

solide buy

What a great knife to use for fruits and vegetables! Sharp as all ever and it it perfectly weighted. Looking amazing too.

muy buenos materiales y el filo excelente

The media could not be loaded. Shun nakiri was bought yesterday and i got it to try on watermelon, it feels like silk really smooth and easy to cut the watermelon peel. It’s good for woman&girls cuz it really light. Love it！

Amazing knife... but well worth the wait. Can’t be rocked like a chefs knife.. but certainly very handy. Looks to be much thinner than a regular asian cleaver though.. I though I can smash garlic with it..
