Shun Classic 6-1/2-Inch Stainless-Steel Nakiri Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have begun replacing all the knives I have accumulated over the years, and after much research have decided that the Shun line will do me nicely. Like most folks I cannot buy a whole set all at once, nor do I think I need a whole set, so will be buying them one at a time. The Nakiri knife was my first purchase of the Shun line for several reason's. I first saw it being used on a popular food show and noticed it seemed to be the chef's favorite knife. He could be seen using it for almost every cutting task, slicing, dicing and even light chopping. I decided after some more research to put that knife to the test myself. This is a wonderful all round knife. It will do almost every task you use a knife for. Notice I said almost, there are some specialty tasks that it does not do well, such as boning and filet work. But when slicing, dicing and chopping vegetables it really shines. It is so sharp out of the box that it requires no effort to slice even the harder root veggies. I find the weight and shape of the knife to be very comfortable and the overall length seems perfect. The "D" handle took no time at all to adjust to and really helps to locate the knife in the hand. This is a great knife and will serve me for many years. Highly recommend.
