Product Description

It's been more than a year since I received my Nakiri VG-10. I bought it just to try and was very happy with the price/quality for the mere $35. The Nakiri has a slight belly and I am surprised how much I like it. Slicing on the front/top of the blade and chopping on the back. Would buy other styles to play with if they become available again.
I bought the 6.5" Nakiri and 7" Veggie Cleaver. They are my first decent knives in this style and have changed my view on kitchen knives entirely. The Nakiri gets used regularly (cleaver not so much)
I purchased the 5" vg-10 santoku and love it for cutting smaller veggies and what not. Edge came razor sharp out of the box and the wood handle has a fantastic finish.
I got the 5" Santoku with VG-10 Damascus steel. It's gorgeous. Sharp. Well-made. The handle is dense and the wood is beautiful. It feels heirloom-quality. I hope to be using this for decades.
lbdesignI am also impressed, first "real" knife(not some blade from the ""block"") you got to be handy with the steel if you know what I mean, earn your keep.
sorry too many beers lol.
I got the Nakiri, razor sharp out of the box, balance/weight is perfect.
The folded(Damascus) steel is beautiful. Pakkawood handle and form is very comfortable.
I am not a knife guy or a chef, just a husband/dad of a family of 5 who was tired of slicing (chicken) and veggies with what the fam turned into butter knives.
Super happy with this purchase.
*aside; dude I suggest you get a sheath for the blade 7-8" should work, and keep the box aside as its just a paper wrap..
Bought the nakiri last drop to replace an aging Japanese knife that suffered years of abuse both at home and in professional kitchens. It wants honing with each use - which, really, most knives do - but with that, it'll cut through most anything you could ask of a vegetable knife with ease. Blade does show streaking after cleaning, though this has no impact on use, and the blade was a tad thicker than I expected. It's thickness is closer to my Wusthof, not the other Japanese knives I've owned or used, so it felt a tad heavier than I initially wanted from a Japanese knife. With that said, I'm very happy with it, especially now that I'm used to it and through the mourning period of my old knife. You really need to spend quite a bit more money to top this on quality.
