Great precision knife,.,. slightly on heaviar side,.,. but good one,.,.!!!

BE CAREFUL This knife is insanely sharp So do not apply the same amount of pressure as you would with a low end knife. If you ever buy this knife, do a paper test Take a normal knife in your home And place it on the edge of the paper and apply low pressure to cut it It probably won't cut Then use this knife It will show you how sharp it is This is extremely lightweight too Great for cutting and design vegetables and fruits for culinary arts.

Overall, this nakiri knife will get the job done, however you may wish it was a few grams heavier. Do remember, nakiri is a knife for greens/veggies - please don't confuse it with a meat cleaver. Nakiri knives are to be used only with veggies, it is not a general purpose knife - it should NOT be used with bones, seeds, hard shells. I am reviewing this as a nakiri knife. A few points to note: 1. I found it to be light 2. The knife was decently sharp out of the box - however, the edge was too rough ground for my taste and needed polishing - pic attached. 3. The heel/finger guard section definitely needed sand papering - was uncomfortably rough - pic attached. 4. There were two unnecessary sharp points/tips in my opinion - again those needed sand papering - pic attached. 5. The balance of the blade - I'd have preferred a bit more towards the tang/handle - see the video. With such a light blade, a lean towards the front of the blade felt a bit off. The handle was decent with a grippy texture. It did not feel slippery at all, and is the right size for the blade. For the price, I think the knife needs more weight and at least one more finishing step, where they smooth out the unnecessary rough bits/edges before they package the knife.

This is a beautifully balanced knife. The weight distribution is excellent, making it comfortable for extended chopping. The blade is very sharp and glides cleanly through vegetables with minimal effort. The flat Nakiri profile is perfect for clean, straight cuts and quick dicing. A great addition to any kitchen.

This is so sharp and fine, better than I expected
