Shun Classic 6 1/2-inch Nakiri Knife

I love the blade with the 16 degree cutting angle. This creates a blade that just glides through some vegetables such as a bell pepper. This edge makes prep so much easier.

It is a wonderful tool one that I didn't know I really needed. feels great in my hand very maneuverable chops like a dream.

The Shun Nakiri is an amazing knife. I now look forward to a chopping need. All Shun knives are truly the very finest!

Love Shun knives! The Nakuru knife is my most used knife! It chops lettuce better than any other knife. Love my Shun set!

This knife is wonderful as are all the ones form this company i have

I bought this one as a gift, I already have one along with a dozen others shun knives!

I am really satisfied with the purchase and the knives. Very good quality.

Sharpness for lifetime & easy to sharpen. Not too heavy or light for women. simple desighn.

The weight, the width, the length, the little bit of rock, the d-shape, the steel . . . everything came together for me when I stumbled upon this little gem. I had been researching nakiris for months trying to find the right one that would be somewhat stainless, but easy to sharpen, without breaking the bank. I knew of Shun and the quality, but had been too deep in researching the smaller Japanese knife makers. Well, there sure are a lot of great knives out there and it was difficult to decide until I found this one on sale. As soon as I unboxed it, I knew that this was going to be passed down to my children. I will take excellent care of this work of art. It cuts like a dream, shines with a gleam, and fulfills a dream: sheet cutting cucumbers for sushi. Ha, that and so much more! Plus, the model number is my birthday.

This was my entry into Japanese knives. I gave it to my son in law who fell in love with it. I currently own a high carbon Nakiri from Japan. It cuts better and has better ergos. It's care is much more demanding, but I'm fine with that. if Robbie hadn't lusted for this, I would still have it. It is a very good knife.
