Bought this for myself after years of using cheap supermarket knives. Really impressed with how effortlessly it slices through onions and peppers. It is slightly heavier than I was expecting but I’ve actually come to prefer that. Edge out the box was sharp enough to shave with. Came well packaged too. Only minor gripe is the handle could do with being a touch rounder, but not a dealbreaker by any means.

Its decent but I honestly expected a bit more for £55. It cuts fine, dont get me wrong, but my old £15 Victorinox does nearly as good a job on most veg. The blade is nice and thin and it does make quick work of cabbage but I dont think its much of an upgrade. Maybe I need to get used to the flat profile more, but I keep reaching for my other knife. Not bad, just not blown away.

Really nice knife for veg prep. Sharp as anything out the box and the flat edge is great for chopping. Took a star off because the handle feels a bit chunky for my small hands, but that’s just a personal thing.

Been using this a few weeks now mainly for onions, peppers, cabbage etc. Makes quick work of it, very clean cuts and the edge is still holding up well. Only gripe is it’s slightly heavier than my old nakiri so fineherb work takes a minute to get used to, but otherwise a solid bit of kit.

Decent knife but I’m not blown away. Cuts veg fine but my old supermarket knife did most of it too, just needed sharpening more often. This holds its edge better but for £55 I thought it would feel a bit more special. The flat blade is good for chopping but I keep reaching for my chef knife instead. Probably my fault for not researching enough.

Bought this nakiri mainly for chopping veg and its really good at that. Blade holds its edge well after a few weeks of daily use. Wish it was slightly longer as I have big hands and the 7 inch feels a bit small for me, but that’s my own fault for not getting a bigger one. Would recommend for the price.

Its ok i guess. Sharp out the box but not amazingly so, I was expecting a bit more bite for £55. Done a few onions and spuds and it cuts clean but so does my old supermarket knife if im honest. The steel feels quality and the look is nice but i dont really see what the fuss is about with nakiri knives. Maybe its just me. Not returned it but probably wouldnt buy another one.

Bought this for my wife’s birthday as she does loads of veg prep. She’s been using it a couple weeks now and it holds its edge nicely. The flat profile is spot on for chopping through cabbage and butternut squash without the rocking nonsense. Only gripe is the handle is a bit on the slim side for my liking, but she’s got smaller hands so it suits her fine. Decent knife for the price.

Proper bit of kit this. Got it for my wife’s birthday as she’s always on at me about wanting a decent veg knife, and this nakiri has honestly changed how we do prep. The flat blade just glides through carrots and spuds, no accordion cuts like with my old chef’s knife. Came in a nice little box too. Sharp as anything out the packet, still holding it after a fortnight of daily use. Only thing is it’s a bit lighter than I expected but that’s actually made it easier on my wrist.

Got this for my wife as she does loads of stir frys. She says it goes through cabbage and onions like nothing, and the steel seems to hold an edge well after three weeks of daily use. It is a touch heavier than her old knife but she says she actually prefers the weight now. Came well packaged too, no complaints.

Solid nakiri, makes veg prep a lot quicker. The flat blade is great for push cuts through carrots and spuds. Only slight issue is the handle feels a bit slim for my hands, took a couple days to get used to but now its fine. Edge came properly sharp which was nice.

Really impressed with this knife. Got it for my wife and she hasn’t stopped using it since. Glides through veg, lovely thin blade. Arrived next day too.

Bought this nakiri after watching a youtube video about proper veg prep and its made such a difference. My old knife (some posh brand from John Lewis that cost double) could barely cut a tomato without squashing it but this thing just falls through stuff. Been using it daily for about a month now and the edge is still wicked sharp. The flat profile makes it so much easier to get even slices on onions and peppers, no more accordion cuts. Handle felt a bit different at first, quite light compared to what I’m used to, but now I prefer it. Came in a proper presentation box as well which was a nice touch. If your on the fence just get it.

Bought this for my dad for father’s day and he’s over the moon. Says it cuts through veg like butter, the flat edge is great for his arthritis as he doesn’t need to rock the blade. Edge was razor sharp out the box. Delivery was quick too.

Ok so ive had this nakiri for about a month now and its quickly become my go to for any veg prep. Used to use a santoku but the completely flat profile on this one means you get full contact with the board so no accordion cuts on spring onions. The steel holds an edge brilliantly, I’ve only needed to strop it once in that time. Handle is comfortable and the whole thing feels well balanced. Only slight thing is it’s a bit heavier than I expected but honestly I prefer that now. Came in a nice box which was a bonus.

Ok so I’ve had this about 3 weeks now and use it most days. The nakiri shape is brilliant for onions and peppers, no rocking just straight through. Edge is holding up well, couple passes on a steel and its back to scary sharp. Handle is comfortable, bit lighter than my old German knife but I prefer it now. Came well packaged as well which was a nice touch.

Got this for my dads birthday and he hasn’t stopped going on about it. He’s been using some old blunt thing from Tesco for years. The flat edge on this makes slicing veg so clean, he did a whole tray of courgettes and they looked like they came out a machine. Blade arrived properly sharp too, not the usual ‘sharp enough’ you get.

Got this for my wife’s birthday as she does a lot of stir fry and veg prep. She was using a cheap santoku before and the difference is night and day. The flat blade makes short work of cabbage and carrots, honestly it glides through stuff. Edge came proper sharp out the box and its got a nice weight to it. Slightly heavier than I expected but she says it feels really well balanced now shes used to it.

Got this nakiri a couple weeks back and honestly its become my go to for veg prep. The flat blade makes slicing cabbage and onions so much easier than my old chefs knife, no half attached bits at the bottom. It came sharp enough to shave with, still holding the edge well after near daily use. Feels nice in the hand, not too heavy. For £55 I’m well happy.

Really nice knife, does exactly what you’d want for veg. Only thing is the handle shape took a few days to get used to, bit more square than I usually go for. Now I’m used to it though its fine. Would recommend if you do a lot of stir fry or prep work.

got this for my oh’s birthday as he’s been going on about wanting a proper veg knife. he proper loves it. used it tonight to julienne carrots and it went through em like butter. edge is mental sharp out the box. feels really well balanced too, not too light not too heavy. lovely satin finish on the blade. i’m half tempted to nick it for myself tbh.
Hayley B. (verified owner) –
It’s a decent enough blade, but i dunno, maybe i expected a bit more for the money. The steel holds an edge alright but i’ve used nakiris before that felt more nimble. This one’s a tad handle heavy for my liking. It does the job, just doesn’t excite me. If you’re after something functional and not fussed about fancy feel then it’s fine, but i probably wouldn’t buy another.

So ive had this nakiri about a month now and its got to be my most reached for knife. The flat profile is spot on for chopping veg, you dont get that accordion thing where bits stay connected. Was using a wusthof chef knife before but this is so much better for veg prep. Clean cuts on tomatoes and herbs aswell. Easy to sharpen on a stone when needed. Honestly for £55 its a bargain. Came in a nice box too.
