Love this nakiri for veg, it’s absolutely ace at julienning carrots and onions. I’m giving it 4 stars because it’s a bit heavier than I expected. Takes nothing away from the performance but I’m used to a lighter blade. Still recommend though.

Belting knife. Been using it for about 3 weeks, prep time for my dinner is half what it used to be. The thin blade and flat profile are a match made in heaven for slicing mushrooms and aubergine. Well worth the money.
Lisa (verified owner) –
Really nice knife this. I’ve been after a nakiri for a while and wasn’t sure about spending crazy money. This one does the job perfectly. The flat profile makes chopping herbs and spring onions so much easier, no rocking about. Properly chuffed.

Arrived fast and in perfect nick. The knife itself is a beaut – classic Japanese styling. Used it for a big batch of coleslaw and it shredded cabbage like a machine. Very happy with the purchase.
Matt H. (verified owner) –
Very decent for the money. The steel takes a keen edge and it’s held up well to daily use. The only reason not 5 stars is the factory edge angle felt a bit too acute, I ended up micro-bevelling it to stop micro-chipping (which is more my heavy-handed chopping). Just a personal thing. Still a great knife.
Nicky R. (verified owner) –
Good nakiri, does the job and then some. The flat edge is perfect for tap-chopping herbs. I’m knocking off a star because the handle feels a tiny bit cheap compared to the blade. It’s all plastic-y, but functionally fine. You get what you pay for and the blade makes up for it.
Craig Green (verified owner) –
This is my second Ginsui nakiri, bought one for my partner after I loved mine so much. The quality is consistent, both arrived scary sharp. Perfect for precise veg work. If you’re on the fence, just get it.
Lee (verified owner) –
My mrs got me this for my birthday. At first I thought a nakiri was a bit niche but now I use it for 80% of my prep. Its light but has enough weight to go through hard veg like swede. The edge is still factory sharp after a couple of weeks. Lovely.
Kris Stewart (verified owner) –
I’ve had this knife a few months now and it’s still as good as day one. I only hand wash and dry it, obviously. The blade has developed a slight patina but that doesn’t affect performance. Great little workhorse.
Scott Turner (verified owner) –
Great little number for the money. Very sharp, easy to control. My one niggle is that the spine could be slightly rounded – it’s a bit crisp and I find myself using a pinch grip that rubs a bit. Again, not a dealbreaker and I’d still recommend it to anyone.
Hayley Shaw (verified owner) –
I bought this as a treat for myself after getting into cooking more. It’s a joy to use, honestly. The flat blade means no more accordion cuts on onion slices. The knife feels well built and the steel is proper hard – holds the edge very well. Happy customer.
Nic Wood (verified owner) –
Cracking little knife. I’ve got a few Japanese knives and this one holds its own against ones twice the price. The handle material (think its resin) is comfortable even when wet. Used it to prep a Sunday roast worth of veg and it flew through.
Lisa J. (verified owner) –
The knife is well packaged and looks smart, but I find the blade a bit too thin for my liking – it flexes when I’m chopping hard carrots. It’s sharp, but I keep reaching for my old trusty chef’s knife. It’ll do as a spare but I’m a bit underwhelmed.
Ben (verified owner) –
Bought this for my husband whos the cook in our house. He proper loves it – says its miles better than his old global knife. Proper good weight and the edge stays sharp ages.
Nic R. (verified owner) –
Wanted a nakiri and didn’t want to spend over £100. This Ginsui one ticked the boxes. It’s beautifully balanced, the flat edge is dead straight, and the grind is thin. Slices through dense veg like butternut squash without wedging. Thumbs up.
Ade Cox (verified owner) –
Top notch for the price. Got it for my son who’s training as a chef, he reckons its better than some of the knives at his college. The high carbon stainless steel means its less faff than pure carbon but still gets wicked sharp. Good buy.
Sam (verified owner) –
I wasn’t expecting much for the money tbh but this knife as really surprised me. The blade is thin and slices like a dream. I’ve been using it for everything from dicing onions to trimming meat, it handles it all. No regrets.
