Miyabi Koh 6.5-inch Nakiri Knife

Beautiful knife, I love the styling. I was surprised how light it feels in my hand. It is extremely sharp, and cuts great. This will be my new favorite knife.

Excellent knife. Precisely what I had been looking for. The handle fits nicely in the hand and the blade is extremely strong yet thin enough for delicate slicing. This has become essential for my day to day at work. A simple elegant beauty.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love it! This knife is amazing, nothing compared to other brands I've owned. Will never go back to anything less than Miyabi

Great knife, very light and sharp right out of the box. Definitely a worthwhile purchase.

The octagon shaped handle and wide blade profile make this a neat knife. Lightweight with a elongated bolster for transition from handle to blade. The nakiri is a smaller version of a Chinese cleaver with a less broad blade that has the maneuverability of a chef knife.

I love to chop vegetables with this Nakiri knife it feels so sturdy and comfortable and the razor sharp edge slices through effortlessly. The Miyabi Koh series is made from FC61 steel which attains 61 on the hardness scale meaning it can retain it's sharp edge use after use. The mirror polished finish and traditional Japanese D shaped Pakkawood handle give this knife a clean comtemporary look.

Nakiri knives are one of my favorite shapes. It is a traditional knife in Japanese cooking; there isn't much that can't be done with this knife. This Miyabi Koh nakiri is one of the most beautiful and well suited for its tasks. Asian cooking involves a fair amount of prepping - pre-cutting of vegetables and proteins. This knife is a workhorse. Chopped soft vegs or hard, thinly sliced meat or chicken or cubes, this knife's sharpness is hat makes it so useful. It's edge was designed to hold. The proprietary steel that the blade is made from, the way it is made and all the hand work used to finish, sharpen and polish it ensures that this knife will be a joy to use for a life time.

This MIyabi Koh Nakiri is handcrafted in Japan, fabricated from revolutionary FC61 fine carbide steel, Ice-hardened FRIODURx2 blade offers exceptional durability, cutting edge retention, and corrosion resistance. About 2 years ago, I received a prep knife and it is scalpel-like sharpness and comfortably in the hand. I liked this nakiri, it is a small or half version of a Asian vegetable knife. It can be used to scoop out food transferring from the cutting board after cutting and slicing to a dish. This is a time-tested German engineering meets Japanese craftsmanship.

I had never heard of, let alone used a Nakiri, but when I saw it I was intrigued. I use it much like I use my santoku but it's so much more fun and and the motion to use it is really fun to watch. I tend to chop back and down motion with this rather than the down and forward I use with my santoku. It has a great flat surface so you can use it to chop but it also has the ability to rock a bit as well. It's a beautiful profile and of course the handle with the red glass beading is absolutely my favorite, for looks and for comfort.

Knife is extremely sharp. Good in my hand. Very precise with onions or other vegetables. Looks beautiful, and quality. But, big minus is KNIFE IS NOT STRAIGHT. Everything can be seen by pictures.
