ShunClassic 6 1/2" Nakiri Knife

Amazing knife, extremely sharp

The balance on this knife is phenomenal and the way that balance couples with the keenest edge of all my knives makes processing something like a burdock root crazy easy. This was my first “good” knife, and I’m afraid I’m spoiled for anything else.

good

The quality is amazing from this company. I enjoy using them. Cuts like butter. Highly recommend. I even got 3 more knives I loved it that much. Worth every penny.

Excellent knife...

I have a range of Shun knives - paring, chefs 5 and 8 inch, chopper and carver. The is my last one that I will need - it arrived this morning. Well packed as always, on unpacking looked beautiful. I washed in warm soapy water and immediately tried it out.Fruit salad, pineapples, mangoes, kiwi, strawberries - all prepped great....and did not stick to blade on cutting. I was so sharp, really sharp. I will keep it this way with my Chefs Choice 15Xv sharpener.I then prepped some red pepper, tomatoes and other veg....clean cuts without effort.Using the knife was really easy, well balanced, easily handed. Maybe a little bit heavier than some I have held but I like the heft, its reassuring without requiring effort to wield - Really good knife...love it

I use this knife as my everyday use now and it is perfect for my prep station with a smaller cutting board.It is the cream of the crop for cutting vegetables and after several months is still fairly sharp, I'm just now considering sharpening it.Being more compact than a normal kitchen knife makes it a bit easier to use as well. I wouldn't recommend it for meat as readily, though it can do that chopping as well if desired (I've used it for some cooked bacon and such). I personally prefer to keep this as my go-to prep and vegetable knife so cleaning it is much easier!If you plan to do meal prep several times a week or even prep meals daily this is a great choice for managing everything you need to do. highly satisfied.

Chipped blade after a couple of uses. Product has no mention of warranty, so money wasted.
