### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well balanced nakiri
*by T***R on September 30, 2025*

Another great knife from Shun. GREAT balance. Keep it sharp and it won’t disappoint

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Professional Use tested and approved
*by S***Y on August 12, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharp. Just what I needed.
*by C***T on April 25, 2015*

I will confess that this Shun Nakiri Damascus layered Knife was not by any means cheap, but I don't have my own teeth and I needed something SHARP to chop my veggies and other chewy stuff. This knife fits the bill. It will chop leafy lettuce all by itself which is something that no knife I owned could do without sending stuff flying off the cutting board. After using one at my daughters place in SC I had to have one. This knife will, with a cleaver action on a cutting board, finely chop the likes of rogain leaves, kale and spinach and nothing flies about, just gets chopped. Don't even need to hold the leafy stuff you are chopping which for me is a great safety factor. I've heard that the handle is too small. You really don't need to man handle this knife. It's sharp enough to do most anything without a heavy hand. Here it is shown cutting leftover prime rib using only the weight of the knife alone which is a mere 4 ounces. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI-nRkb_8RQ Revised and updated because I just bought the Premier Sumo Santoku TDM0743S knife which has a stand. It is prominently displayed on my kitchen bar and it is just as sharp as my Nakiri Shun but is heavier to make use of the weight of the knife itself to aid in cutting. I can shave pork loin to make it tender as a marshmallow for sandwiches (with kraut of course). Love both of these knives. Just make sure you have a good cutting surface. Those complaining about the knife going dull or chipping might be using the counter top for a cutting board. Use a simple plastic mat or an actual maple board.
