Excellent weight and incredibly sharp

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife is amazing! Incredibly sharp and feels perfect in the hand! Highly recommend.

It works

Very light weight & Sharp as hell. Almost took of a finger with first use.

Gorgeous knife

This was a gift for my mother, but I hear it is very nice to use.

My favorite knife!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Nakiri is hands down my go-to knife. When I got it, it was sharp as can be straight out of the box. I’ve had it for 5 years now and it has stood the test of time. Working in kitchens in Malibu and Westlake CA, I needed a knife that could handle high production and long hours. The handle on it is so comfortable to hold and the profile is a standout for me. Not like a typical flat Nakiri, this one has a curve to it that helps the versatility...

Love the kaizen II knives

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super sharp and very pretty. I have had caphalon, wustof, and henckels. These seem the best quality so far and most pretty. Will be displaying in a clear knife block.

Great knife

Love this incredible knife, super sharp, weighted well, easy to use.

Excellent Knife

Extremely sharp and well made knife. Comfortable in my hand and glides through vegetables.

great Asian blade

This knife is as good to look at as it is to use. The shape of the micarta handle is very comfortable with a little more thickness than the original. The Damascus styling of the blade really highlights the artistry of Miyabi cutlery. The blade is also super sharp and gives me nice straight thin cuts every time.

I use my nakiri knife almost every day now that I discovered this blade profile. It is a nice addition to my Kaizen ll chef knife and I use it for almost all of my vegetables. It has a nice wide blade profile and makes you feel like a pro chopping away. The traditional D-shape handle makes it easy to get all your tasks done in the kitchen and feel like you just started!

fun new knife

I really like the new shape of this Nakiri. the flat blade edge give lots of contact to cut thru large piles of food, thick veggies or just about anything else.

Much More than a Vegetable Cleaver

Brilliant new introduction. Kaizen II has stiff core and wrapped multiple times to enhance stability and beauty. Each one is unique. Grip is real wood but durable.

Very durable, sharp Nakiri made with FC61 steel. I use this for a majority of my vegetable cuts and I love the way it feels in my hand. It is fantastic quality and a knife you will have for a lifetime.

Durability and Beauty

Kaizen II is made of a new type of steel, FC61, that very few knife companies are using. It is extremely chip resistant. Japanese knives, by design, have a very thin blade and a very small edge angle. This is what makes them incredibly sharp. Unfortunately, prior to FC61, it could make them a little fragile if you didn't know how to properly use and care for them. FC61 has answered that problem and allows most anyone to own a Japanese knife. Plus it is very hard which gives it incredible ...

Useful and Sharp

The Kaizen II will become one of your most reached for knives. The updated Kaizen II has an FC61 core that is stronger and more durable than the original. It will retain its razor sharo edge longer and feel more sturdy in your hand. The handle also has been upgraded to pakkawood and is slightly larger for a comfortable grip in your hand. The Nakiri blade is perfect for all your chopping job and with a slightly curved tip you will be able to smoothly slice through your vegetables.

The Nakiri is an adapted knife that now also works well as a Western knife, although originally a Japanese knife for chopping. This new version feels better in the hand and can handle any chopping or cutting - Eastern or Western style. The Damascus pattern is so visually gorgeous, although cutting with this knife is as good as it looks! You will reach for this knife more and more, as you will see it is up to any task!

Well made & uniquely designed Japanese Nakiri Knife...The size is perfect for chopping large amount of vegetables. Professional Quality
