## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the nakiri knife made for both left handed and right handed people?**
A: I'm sorry but I'm right handed so I don't know if it's as useful for left handers.

**Q: Can this knife be used by left-handers?**
A: I am not left handed so cannot fully appreciate those issues. The knife is symmetrical, so would not appear to made with any bias towards a right hand user.

**Q: For the Keemake Nakiri: What is the width of the blade and thickness of the blade (thickness measured at spine)?**
A: 1/8 inch. This is my favorite kitchen knife without question. I have the highest quality knives in my kitchen and I have a few Japanese style knives but needed just the right veggie knife and this met all requirements.  Quality and most importantly it fits my hand perfectly for all my needs. Just a great knife.

**Q: Is the high carbon stainless steel the same as a Carbon steel knife, and do i have to maintain it with oil?**
A: No

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best knife for the price.
*by N***U on August 30, 2025*

For the price, cost of it, best knife ever ! Stay sharp for so long, I have it for around 4-5 year already and still one of the shapest knife I have. Easy to use, just wish it came with a blade cover.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful knife
*by T***E on September 3, 2025*

Bought as a gift for my wife. Great knife! Very sharp, comfortable handling and looks quite nice

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great beginner knife!
*by S***T on May 24, 2024*

Super shape out of the box but will need whetstone sharpening about every other week to a month depending on how often you use it/what you’re cutting with it. I’m a sushi chef and have a lot of fun using it at work but it’s definitely not for skinning whole loins or slicing sashimi. Get you a nice yanagiba for that. But it’s perfect for slicing through rolls and has that classic Japanese look and feel. The grip of the octagonal shape of the handle feels a little sharper than others I have (similiar style set) but I’m sure will smooth out as I use it more. Great blade shape! Performs kind of like a short fat chefs knife or like a chefs mixed with a santoku so you get best of both worlds for cutting technique! Nearly perfect balance for nice stability when using. Excellent quality for the price and look! Instant classic and one of my favorite new toys already! My only wish is that I wish it came with a felt lined sheath or wooden sia. I’d pay $5 more for the standard sheath or $10 more if it came with a sia that fit! But seeing as we’re on the cheap things delivery app it’s easy to just buy something from another brand.
