HOSHANHO 7 Inch Nakiri Knife, Japanese High Carbon Stainless Steel Chef Knife, Multipurpose Meat Vegetable Sharp Kitchen Knife with Ergonomic Pakkawood Handle

This is a great knife. I got it for my wife who is a chef and needed something to make it easier for her to cut large amounts of meat without burning her shoulder out - she's a petite woman. I'm not sure what type of steel it is but right out of the box it's razor sharp. The handle is ergonomically perfect for both her small hands as well as my XL hands. Additionally, she says the knife has just the right amount of weight to make slicing paper thin meat easy. She loves it!

It's a great knife for the price. Attractive, sturdy, sharp and comfortable to use.

Great knife, bought it for my gf and its super sharp. It cuts veggies very thinly and will cut English muffins or bagels with ease. Ive used it to cut large blocks of meat thinly like pork butt. Its the perfect butcher knife for women too cause its not too big and bulky. It fits her hands really well as well as mine which is significantly bigger. Id buy this again but i think i wont have to since its a great quality knife and if you sharpen it this will last you a life time

This is a classic Japanese Chef knife and if you know anything about these types of knives, you are aware that it has a specific purpose in one's kitchen. If so, then you will find that this knife is on par with similar knives costing hundreds of dollars. it holds its edge longer than expected but it will, after some use, require a sharpening touch up to recondition the edge. Nothing odd, just part of the maintenance you will need eventually. The handle is not ergonomic, but better than most. Again, it is how you were 'trained' to use it. This is a special knife that I would encourage one who intends to use it, to read up on what this knife is, what it can do, and how to use it. Once you get past that hurdle, you will find this knife perfect for everyday cutting jobs around the kitchen. You will tend to grab this knife ahead of others as it has multi-functions that come in handy. Worth every penny it took to get it.

I purchased this knife for a gift. I was very surprised once it arrived. The knife has an excellent weight and an excellent edge. Not only a great value but impressive knife. I ordered another for myself.

I'm not a fan of this style knife blade, but this seemed like a good knife so I thought I'd give it a try. It's lighter than I expected and very sharp, but I've only used it a few times and only on onions so it's not much to base it on yet. That said, it cuts through the onion smoothly and effortlessly.

This is a very good quality Nakiri Knife, which is between a chef's knife and a cleaver, often used to prep ingredients for Chinese or other asian food. The steel is very high quality, the blade arrived very sharp, the handle is attractive and well shaped, and overall the knife exudes a sense of quality and magic. For anyone wanting this kind of knife, I can't imagine you could do any better, at least not without access to special avenues and paying a lot more money. Knives in general have gotten so good that I won't go on about how good this one is. The competition is brutal. Suffice it to say, this knife rises to the challenge. Excellent.

Love this knife!! Great contoured handle (fits large and small hands). The blade shape is perfect for chopping and scooping up stuff! Blade is good quality and has not shown anything wear or chipping with use. It is not too heavy in the hand but it does have some heft to it. I consider that a positive. Can’t beat the price!
