Nakiri Knife 7" kitchen knife Sharp Meat Cleaver and Vegetable Kitchen Knives Hand-Forged High Carbon Japanese AUS-8 Stainless Steel Chef Knife with Rosewood Handle & Gift Box

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my son because he always complained about the knives in the house being full and he loves anything Japanese. O Really sharp knife. Great quality, excellent for cutting meat, fish, whatever’s clever. Really nice looking and attractively boxed so it makes a great gift.

Bought this knife for my husband, he loves it. it's got a nice weight to it, looks fancy, came pretty sharp! I don't think its dishwasher safe, but we tend to wash & drive them and put them up after use to make sure they stay in their best shape.

This is a Japanese-style made in China gyuto.It says it’s made with Japanese AUS-8 steel, but most likely it’s one of its Chinese equivalents: 8Cr13MoV or 8Cr14MoV, which are decent enough steels for the purpose, if they were heat treated properly. These are stainless steels, but unlike the typical Euro stainless steels, will stain or even rust, if they are not washed and dried promptly.No dishhwasher, the nice tropical hardwood won’t survive that either.It is really well designed, executed and very nice looking. The hammered finish is decorative, it has little to do with food release. The blade is ground slightly convex, which is more inportant for food release. The blade isn’t very thin, so it will wedge a little, but also it is not very thick either.The biggest surprise is that it is really well balanced. It is slightly blade heavy, as it should be for this style, but the balance point is just 1 inch in fornt of the heel, so it feels close to neutral in a pinch grip.The back of the knife and the choil are a little sharp, but can be easily rounded a bit with sandpaper for a more comfortable pinch grip.For a 20-25 $ knife, it is an excellent value, but don’t expect the performance and edge holding of a 100-200$ authentic Japanese knife.It is definitely better than most of the 30-70$ typical chef’s knives you can buy in big box stores or even online.I highly recommend it at this price point, but wouldn’t buy it if it cost more than $30.Despite a review extolling its virtue as a good day-to-day tool in a professional kitchen, it is not optimal for the huge demand and potential abuse in a busy pro environment.This is a knife for a home cook. It has excellent esthetics and decent enough performance.I highly recommend it at this price point.

The knife came in a box, there’s a plastic sleeve and a plastic cover for the tip of the blade. Great quality, sharp right out of the box, well balanced and very comfortable handle. I use this knife to cut sushi grade fish for poke, sashimi and sushi. If you’re looking for an affordable chef knife I recommend this product.

Folding nakiri knife, cuts great. For vegetables

Great sturdy knife

The media could not be loaded. A safe knife is a sharp knife and this checks the box for sure. Easy to use and comes in a nice box for storage. Has a comfortable grip and the handle size is ideal. Haven’t noticed any rust but as long as you follow the instructions it comes with no problem.

there are two different board as the handle and the first one is broken and blade is now shake to come out. the hilt/handle is poorly made
