I honestly didn t think a knife could make this much difference. Prepping a veg curry used to take ages, now I fly through it. The edge holds up even after a couple of weeks on my wooden board.

Good blade, holds an edge nicely. Wish it came in an 8 inch version though, I sometimes feel like I want a bit more length when chopping cabbage.
James Barnes (verified owner) –
I do like it a lot, especially for finer veg like spring onions. Not as versatile as my chefs knife obviously, but for what it is, its great. I d give it 4.5 if I could.
Josh Mason (verified owner) –
Really pleased overall. I was worried it might be fragile but it handles carrots and parsnips like nothing. Only thing is the edge needed a little stropping after a week of heavy use, which wasnt a big deal.
Emily Walker (verified owner) –
mostly use this for veg prep at home. Its very sharp and stays sharp. The only negative is that it feels a little bit handle-heavy when you pinch grip, but I still reach for it every day.
Steve G. (verified owner) –
Lovely knife. The handle is nice and grippy and the thin blade slices through celeriac and swede with no effort. Massive upgrade from my old supermarket knives.
Rosie (verified owner) –
So I got this nakiri after watching some Japanese chef videos and honestly, its exactly what I hoped for. The flat profile is perfect for up and down chopping, no rocking needed. Great for courgettes and peppers.
Pete (verified owner) –
Really impressed. The weight feels good in hand and the blade holds its edge. Ive been using it daily for meal prep and its just spot on.
Lee (verified owner) –
Ok so I know its meant for veg but I gave it a go on some deboned chicken thighs and it was grand. The height of the blade is great for scooping bits off the board. 10/10 would buy again.
Gavin Grant (verified owner) –
Gets the job done. The steel feels premium and it arrived razor sharp. My only minor grumble is its a bit heavier than what I’m used to, but I got accustomed to it after a week.
Hannah Jones (verified owner) –
bought this after reading reviews and for the most part its spot on. The flat blade is superb for lettuce and spinach, no bruising. The handle looks nice but feels a bit slick when wet, something to keep in mind.
Mike Fisher (verified owner) –
arrived next day and was well packaged. The blade has a beautiful finish and it cuts herbs without bruising, which is a nice touch. Great value for 50 quid.
Donna (verified owner) –
Proper sharp out the box. Didnt even need to touch up the edge. I use it mostly for prepping stir fry veg, its a joy to use. Came in a nice box too, very presentable.
Steve Evans (verified owner) –
I m giving it 4 stars because for the price its brilliant, but I do wish the blade had a bit more of a kurouchi finish to stop things sticking. It cuts great though, perfect for dicing tomatoes.
Gary (verified owner) –
Been using victorinox for years but thought Id try this. Its a whole different league. The AUS10 steel keeps its edge way longer. I m a home cook but this feels like a proper tool.
Jade (verified owner) –
Nice knife, came properly sharp and cuts through butternut squash like a gem. The packaging was lovely, made it feel fancy. Not a 5 star cos it took a bit of getting used to the flat edge vs my german knives.
Rhys Day (verified owner) –
This knife is brilliant. Had it a month now and it still glides through onions like butter. Never thought chopping veg would be so satisfying.
