HOSHANHO Damascus Nakiri Knife 6.5", Sharp Kitchen Knife for Vegetables | Multipurpose Asian Chef Knife | Japanese Super Steel Cleaver | 15° Edge | 62 HRC | Ergonomic Olive Handle | Ideal Home Gift

The HOSHANHO 6.5 inch Damascus Nakiri Knife was purchased last week as our first speciality dedicated vegetable knife and our first Japanese style knife. We were delighted by the quality packaging and build quality of the knife. Selection criteria included high quality VG-10 steel, size, appearance, and price and the excellent video by "HSH-DE" who demonstrated on a cabbage and an onion. Also liked the flexibility of a santoku and nakari in one. Also worth mentioning is the shape of the wood handle is perfect for both right and left hand use. Over the weekend we used it on 2 seasonal vegtables, butternut squash and white cabbage. First, the hard butternut squash was cut into 1 inch cubes for roasting and the sharpness, secure hand grip, and scalloped santoku style blade sides to prevent sticking made this usually difficult chore a breeze. She said "wonderful!" Secondly I made a large batch of confetti coleslaw using the white cabbage. Easily sliced the quartered cabbage into thin ribbons and then used the knife as a chopper for the cross-cuts. We were both impressed with how easily this very sharp knife chops for perfect gourmet sizing. I said "amazing". Bottom line: an easy to use vegtable prep knife with great feel and balance. Outstanding for chopping. A joy to use. A "cut-proof" glove is recommended due to the sharpness. The actual weight we measured on 2 digital scales is 8.5 ounces which is great for everything including chopping.

Purchased as gift. Loves it. Light weight. Loves to use on veggies or to slice frozen thin meat to make shaved meat dishes. Holds nice edge. Until ready to spend 2 or 3x more this is great value blade.

Sharp and effective—highly recommended.

This is a decent knife - it is very sharp and cuts well. It has been about 3 months and is still quite sharp. It cuts everything very well, vegetables, slice meat well, and chops good.

I received my Chef, Nakiri, and Fillet Damascus knives today, and the Damascus Paring knife is on its way. These knives look really nice and they were on sale. I'm replacing my dollar knives, but I don't need professional chef knives. The Hoshanho knives seem to be a good choice. I like the way they feel and they look really nice too. I'm worried about the blade chipping, but I'll be careful. The blades are thick and have a nice finish. Update: I just received the paring knife (same style). It looks and feels great! Since I have the Chef's knife and the paring knife, I guess I won't need to get the utility knife. I'm happy with my purchase. Mostly because they look and feel really nice.

This is a wonderful Japanese design for an experienced cook. It can easily slice, dice, chop vegetables, fruits, lightly crush garlic and shovel up veggies easily. It's design actually being somewhere between being a knife and a meat cleaver. It makes cutting melons as easy as slicing toasted bread. BUT: Its sharp as an old time, men's razor blade and should be used with caution. I personally use it for hard jobs, still rarely with meat and still with great caution. Yup I do love it, gives competition for my fine German knifes...

A great vegetable and meat cutting knife. I think this knife could replace a normal chefs knife! Great size and this knife is razor sharp! This knife has turned into my go to knife almost everything. The olive wood handle is gorgeous too! Highly recommend this Nakiri knife.

This is the sharpest knife I have ever owned. I cook a LOT and I am so impressed with the sharpness of the blade and he ease of use of this knife! I will go back and see if they have any other sizes or types of knives that I can purchase. This is by far the best knife I have ever used in my kitchen!

excelente, equilibrado , peso y corte satisfactorio

Used for a number of months edge is still in very good shape and still very sharp. Has a very nice weight and blade thickness for most uses.

Coltello Made in china (ma almeno nn l hanno scritto sulla lana…. Ben bilanciato, affilatura grezza ma ottimale per la funzionalità (verdure).

Sehr, sehr scharf 🌶️! Wunderbare Ergänzung zu meinem Sandoku

Très bon tranchant, bonne prise en main mais il faut émousser le tranchant côté manche sous peine de se blesser.
