Her razor sharp blade is ready for any vegetable she can stand in the way of
5/5

Beautiful nakiri, I must say. From Beverly Hills, California, this razor comes from Yoshihiro Cutlery. The package was shipped promptly to me via USPS, packed well, and arrived in A knife that has been used every day for over three months has maintained its edge. As far as I am concerned, this is my go-to To veggie knife. It does not require more than a few strokes on a honing rod after usage. The leather is stropped on a leather block every few weeks. There is no change in its sharpness since the day A knife that has been properly oiled will not discolor or lose its shine. If you want a Japanese product that will last a lifetime, this knife is a good choice if you're willing to spend a little bit more.

I like the handle comfort, knife is nice and light, and the blade is properly thin, however the top edges of the blade are kind of sharp and I have to ask our knife sharpener guy to round it off a bit, using a pinch grip it becomes uncomfortable I have the santoku knife as well, Now both are professional level knives
4/5

(All knives are a bit like that, but these are more than that. )
I also have the gatsuke. I like the quality and the value of this product.

I really liked this handbag
5/5

It is very practical, very nice, Here is the VG- I just received The Nakiri/Usuba knife has a 46 layer composition which is octagonal with a handle made from ambrosia wood. Despite its simple appearance, it is incredibly vivid and Efforts were made to refine the packaging It was priced reasonably and befitted the quality of the knife. In comparison with my Miyabi Birchwood knife and my Shun Premier Classic knife, this knife is an improvement. I am thoroughly impressed with how fast delivery was through Amazon. The feel is superior to what I In addition to the handle being comfortable, the blade appears to be weighted toward the blade. the first time I have used an octagonal handle, so I was a little nervous. The knife is likely to become one of my favorites very soon.

Since working in professional kitchens for 29 years, I have encountered some great knives
5/5

Over the years, I have been able to try out a lot of fine knives. If you use this knife properly, it will last you a lifetime. The knife was purchased in order to replace one that was stolen with my bag when my car was broken into. This knife goes to show how well they make knives. All the knives that I have tried made by them are of exceptional The knife is razor sharp, don't cut yourself trying to handle it. This will take your finger off in no time. I highly recommend this knife for any chef looking for a quality knife. It's a pleasure.

I would recommend this to everyone! I am amazed! I found out about this knife in the Reddit subreddit for knives for chefs
5/5

The sharpness and light weight of this one had been highly recommended. Easy to chop vegetables and easy to use in the kitchen. I like the sharpness of the picture, it's Definitely something I would recommend to others. I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He has been wanting a nakiri knife for awhile now and I was happy to find out that this was not as expensive as I expected.

Having waited so long was not a good idea
5/5

I had been using the same US knives for about 12 years, but now it felt like it was time to upgrade. It was not disappointing at all! I was surprised to see they are designed to be light weight until I got the package with their PR materials - I got a chefs knife and a nakiri. Besides being perfectly balanced, they feel great when using this nakiri. While the chef's knife I got had a bit of weight to it, I am actually super happy with it.

There are no words to describe the beauty of this work
5/5

The hammered finish has an extraordinary aesthetic appeal. Never had a knife as sharp as that before! The handle of this knife has an octagonal shape made of rosewood with a wooden When simplicity, durability, and usability are combined, they are at their best. I have never chopped vegetables so easily, it is as if I was While using this baby, be sure to keep your fingers away from the knife edge The cilantro had soiled the blade when I was wiping it off - I cut myself Unless otherwise stated. In a blink of an eye, they will be history. You'll enjoy it.

This is incredible
5/5

Here's a summary of the last six years This knife has been in my possession and use for almost 6 years now, so I've had it for a long time. My first sharpening was done on a whet stone when I got it, and since then I have not needed to do so. In addition to running it across a strop periodically, I have not made any other modifications to the blade and it is still as sharp as the day it was made. The Yoshihiro does not see daily use due to my MAC santoku being the workhorse of the kitchen, but when I'm processing a lot of vegetables, I reach for the Yoshihiro. My position is that I am absolutely certain I will buy this knife again without hesitating if anything were to As a matter of fact, I'm updating this review because I'm ready to buy a new kitchen knife and I've decided to buy one from However, I am not sure what one it is )*** * - I reviewed the original review on February 13, 2014 It is the sharpest piece of steel I have ever handled. The blade is not as sharp as it could be right out of the box, but after using a 1000/6000 whet stone and a strop, it becomes as sharp as anything I've used. There is no match for this game on the Global, MAC, or Shun platforms.
